What is the difference between a revolving gate and a wing gate?

1, Structural Design and Working Principles
Rotating gate:
Rotary gate, also known as revolving gate or turnstile, is usually composed of structural frame, movement, transmission shaft, electromagnet, control board and other components. Its core feature lies in its rotating mode of passage. Rotary gates are usually divided into various types such as full height turnstiles, half height turnstiles, as well as one-way turnstiles, 90 ° turnstiles, 120 ° turnstiles, etc. During operation, the rotating gate is driven by a motor to drive the transmission shaft, which in turn drives the gate plate to rotate. When receiving the opening signal, the electromagnetic iron is powered on to open the positioning arm, allowing pedestrians to pass through. After pedestrians pass through, the gate plate will automatically reset and wait for the next signal to open the gate. In addition, the rotary gate also has a power-off normally open function, which means that in the event of a power outage, the gate plate will remain in a normally open state to meet fire safety requirements.
Wing Lock:
Wing gate, also known as scissor gate or wing gate, is composed of a main engine box, movable wing plates, control system, infrared sensors, and other basic structures. The gate wings of the wing gate are generally fan-shaped planes, perpendicular to the ground, and achieve blocking and releasing through expansion and contraction. The materials commonly used for wing brakes are organic glass, tempered glass, etc., which have the characteristics of high transparency and beautiful appearance. In terms of working principle, the wing gate receives the opening signal through the control system and drives the motor to quickly open or close the wing plate. The wing gate has a fast traffic speed and is an ideal management and guidance device for high-frequency pedestrian access channels. At the same time, the wing brake also has various intelligent functions such as fault self check, alarm prompt, anti pinch function, and automatic reset.
2, Application scenarios and functional characteristics
Rotating gate:
The rotary gate, with its unique rotating design, can effectively prevent illegal entry behaviors such as climbing and crossing, making it particularly suitable for occasions that require strict control, such as prisons, military bases, important scientific research institutions, etc. At the same time, rotary gates are widely used in transportation hubs such as subway stations, airports, and train stations, as well as public places such as scenic spots, exhibition halls, and conference centers, for crowd diversion and safety management. The passage speed of the revolving gate is moderate, with a capacity of about 30 people per minute, which can meet the needs of most occasions.
Wing Lock:
Wing gates have become an ideal choice for high-frequency pedestrian access due to their fast opening, safety, and convenience. Wing gates are widely used in transportation hubs such as airports, subway stations, stations, and docks, as well as in scenic spots, parks, student dormitories, and unit pedestrian walkways. The wing gate can cooperate with the smart card to achieve the function of ticket sales management system for detached aircraft, forming unmanned management of personnel entry and exit. In addition, the wing gate also has a luxurious and atmospheric exterior design, which can enhance the overall image of the venue. The passage speed of the wing gate is one of the fastest among all gates, especially suitable for crowded places.
3, Performance Comparison and Selection Suggestions
In terms of performance, rotary gates and wing gates each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Rotating gates, with their sturdy structure and strict control capabilities, are more suitable for situations that require a high level of safety. The wing gate, with its fast opening and elegant appearance, is more suitable for situations with dense pedestrian flow and the need for efficient passage. When choosing, users should consider comprehensively based on specific application scenarios and needs.
For situations that require strict control, such as prisons, military bases, etc., rotary gates are a better choice. Its sturdy structure and strict control capabilities can effectively prevent illegal entry behavior. For densely populated areas that require efficient passage, such as airports, subway stations, etc., wing gates are more suitable. Its fast opening feature can greatly improve traffic efficiency and reduce waiting time in queues.
In addition, when choosing, users should also consider factors such as equipment reliability, durability, and maintenance costs. There are many brands and models of rotary gates and wing gates in the market, and users should choose well-known brands and reliable products to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
