An overview of the features that ensure the safe operation of a revolving door.
Revolving doors are designed to be safe and comply with stringent safety regulations. These requirements are outlined in international standards such as the Machinery Directive, EMC Directive, RoHS Directive and EN 16005 standard. High-security revolving doors must also meet the EN 17352 standard, which focuses on the safe operation of automatic doors with pedestrian access control.
Automatic revolving doors feature advanced sensor technology that prevents individuals or objects from becoming trapped. Safety mechanisms such as automatic stop functions and speed regulation ensure secure and smooth passage for all users.
Safety sensors integrated into the door wings and frame allow the door to detect users or objects, automatically slowing down or stopping when contact is likely. Rubber safety strips, often referred to as safety needles, are placed on the end posts of the curved walls and underneath the door wings to ensure the door halts upon contact.
Furthermore, most revolving doors are equipped with emergency release systems, enabling fast and safe evacuation during emergencies. Combined with robust engineering, these features ensure that revolving doors provide a secure and user-friendly experience.
