Definition of tripod turnstile
Tripod turnstile door, also known as waist height turnstile, 3 arm turnstile, three roller turnstile, is a type of pedestrian turnstile. It is specially used for channel management where personnel entrances and exits need to be inspected or controlled. The tripod turnstile chassis is made of 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel, and consists of a movement, circuit, controller, and gate rod. The tripod turnstile has a fire interface. When the power is not cut off, it can be linked with the fire, automatically drop the rod, and pass freely to ensure the safety of personnel. The tripod turnstile has an anti-sneak function. Pedestrians cannot turn around after measuring about 60 degrees to prevent people from the opposite side from breaking in in the opposite direction. The tripod turnstile has a hydraulic structure, low noise, and wear resistance.

Application scope of tripod turnstile door
Tripod turnstile is suitable for various public places where pedestrians need to pass in an orderly manner, such as scenic spots, exhibition halls, cinemas, docks, railway stations, bus stations and other places that require ticket inspection; places that require authorized entry such as factory attendance, canteen consumption, golf courses, monthly card leisure centers, etc.; anti-static control areas of electronic factories, units that require strict security measures such as face recognition and fingerprint recognition, etc.

Tripod turnstile door core microprocessor

- According to the braking method, it can be divided into: fully automatic braking Tripod Turnstile, semi-automatic braking Tripod Turnstile (this type belongs to the high-end turnstile type, the mainstream abroad);
- China’s mainstream Tripod Turnstile is classified into: fully automatic Tripod Turnstile, semi-automatic Tripod Turnstile and manual Tripod Turnstile.




Semi-automatic Tripod Turnstile:
It is equipped with a motor or two electromagnets to control the locking and unlocking of the inbound and outbound directions. After authorized passage, the electromagnet drives the unlocking arm to unlock, and the gate bar can be released to rotate in one direction. The user can gently push the gate bar to pass through the channel. The semi-automatic Tripod Turnstile is designed with an anti-reversal function, which can effectively prevent pedestrians from going in the opposite direction.
Manual Tripod Turnstile:
It is purely mechanical and does not have any electrical equipment. The user only needs to gently push the gate bar with his hand to pass through the channel without swiping the card. The automatic positioning and reset system controls free passage in one direction and locks the other direction to prohibit passage.
Development Trend of Tripod Turnstile




The Tripod Turnstile market will continue to grow in the next few years, with global sales expected to reach X billion US dollars in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of X%. This growth is mainly due to the increase in demand for its wide application in transportation hubs, office buildings, museums and other places.
The technical development trends of Tripod Turnstile include the following aspects:
High-precision identification technology: Use biometrics or IC card identification technology to quickly and accurately verify the identity of personnel and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
Environmental adaptability:
Made of high-strength materials, it has the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant, and can adapt to harsh environments.
Intelligent linkage:
Supports seamless connection with monitoring systems, alarm systems, etc., to improve management efficiency and response speed.
The application areas of Tripod Turnstile will be further expanded, especially in intelligent transportation systems, smart city construction, etc. With the advancement of technology and the diversification of application scenarios, Tripod Turnstile will not only be used in traditional transportation hubs, office buildings and other places, but will also play an important role in emerging fields such as smart cities and industrial parks.
What are the advantages of Tripod Turnstile?
Tripod Turnstile’s core advantages mainly include efficient passage, security, versatility and intelligent management.
Tripod Turnstile is easy to use
It uses a contactless smart IC card. You only need to swipe the card in the card reader area. The device response time is less than 0.1 seconds, and the operation is simple and fast. . In addition, Tripod Turnstile can also be connected with smart devices to achieve automatic identification and control, further improving the efficiency of passage.
Tripod Turnstile is very safe.
It uses three rotatable gate rods with small gaps between the gate rods, which can effectively prevent unauthorized personnel from passing through. At the same time, Tripod Turnstile can be linked with security equipment such as access control systems and surveillance cameras to ensure the safety of the venue.
Tripod Turnstile is multifunctional. Its management system uses a contactless smart IC card, which realizes the functions of one card for multiple uses, strong confidentiality, and no wear, greatly improving the practicality of the system. In addition, Tripod Turnstile can also be used in a variety of application scenarios such as attendance, consumption, and parking management, meeting the management needs of different places 1.
Tripod Turnstile is highly intelligent
It can be connected to various smart devices to achieve automatic identification and control, which improves the convenience and intelligence of management. More and more Tripod Turnstile systems use Internet of Things technology and big data analysis to achieve real-time monitoring and analysis of personnel traffic data, providing more possibilities for the management of places .
Tripod Turnstile has low maintenance costs and is easy to maintain. It has a simple structure, fewer parts, and is easy to replace and repair. Daily maintenance only requires regular inspection of the oil volume and sealing of the hydraulic system, which reduces the user’s cost of use .
