Hydraulic Rising Bollards’ Power Unit

 



Hydraulic rising bollards are one of the physical security systems that control the entry / exit of vehicles. Hydraulic bollards are generally produced with hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, semi-automatic or manual triggers. In the mechanical body of the bollards, mostly stainless steel is prefering. In this article, information about the power units of hydraulic bollards will be given.

            The power unit of the hydraulic rising bollards consists of two main elements: hydraulic part and electrical&electronics part. Hydraulic unit includes electric motor, directional valve, hydraulic valve and hydraulic oil. The electric motor in the hydraulic unit is generally AC (Alternating Current) motors. This electric motor is directly triggered by the contactor, which is the switching hyrdaulic cyclinder. This electric motor, which is started with a contactor, is also protected against overcurrent and short circuit by motor circuit breaker. In the electronic part, the system is managed by a microcontroller board. The input signals from the rising bollarder and the user are interpreted with the control card and the necessary output signals are given. For example, when the user presses the "lower" button while the bollard is in the up position; the controller triggers to the motor contactor and the downward hydraulic directional valve will be actived. Thus, the bollard goes down completely and the vehicle is allowed to pass. In some systems where the necessary safety precautions are not taken, the rising bollards may cause an accident. Loop and photocell sensors prevent such accidents. While the loop detector detects a vehicle from these sensors, the photocell detects both vehicles and human. When the user presses the barrier "up" button while the vehicle is traveling on the bollard, this signal will be processed in the controller and the bollards will not go up because the loop sensor detects the vehicle. With this scenario, potential accidents are prevented. Finally, the LED lights on the bollard will be mentioned. The red LED lights on the barrier are activated by the controller with flashing; Thus, users can easily notice the bollards.

            The power unit of the hydraulic rising bollards, which consists of electronic and hydraulic main components, is generally located near the bollards.

What is a guard booth?

Image
     The purpose of guard booth is that with a security man stays in it which is placed at access points for controlling unauthorised entry and exits.    A guardhouse is a building used to house personnel and security equipment  A guard booth is also used to sentinel around of field at borders.   Guardhouses are not wanted to left without a guard as modern guardhouses have good life area with technologic equipment and comfort.  Some of most important specifications of the security guard booths are 360-degree wantage points, ultimate comfort, insulated rooms, air conditioner, refrigerator, telephone lines, wireless, wardrobe, lighting inside and outside, audible alarms, microphone, loudspeaker etc. Most of guard shelters are made from galvanised steel and heavy duty welded and they are well insulated.  For more information, visit Optima Engineering

What is tyre killer types?

Image
What   is   tyre killer types ? -They  are mostly preferred as mechanical tyre killer. The spikes/teeth work mechanically.   - Electro mechanically tyre killers are also available which moves the spikes/teeth work via link mechanism  connected with a gear box and  an AC Motor.   - Hydraulic Tyre Killers spikes/teeth raise help of a hydraulic piston. These tyre killers have separate hydraulic power units. The tyre killer and power unit  are  connected  between each of them with hydraulic hoses.   -Flush Mounted Tyre  K illers are installed in a concrete pit. Its main body and mechanism are underground but teeth/spikes are above of road surface.   For more information, visit Optima Engineering How is a  tyre killer mechanism ?   -Tyre killers often use  counter weight mechanisms  to allow the teeth raise again after a car pass on it, but preventing passage in the other direction.   -Some of manufactu...
