What is a maglock?

slide-4
SLIDE 4

the maglock

▪Armature – dumb metal plate ▪Electromagnet – electrical device ▪Protection/safety ▪Voltage selection

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Maglocks are everywhere

▪Access control systems

▪ Automated door locks

▪Escape Rooms ▪Drawer locks ▪Etc.

Other actuators

▪Maglocks are specialized magnetic actuators ▪Solenoids (push and pull movements) ▪Motors

▪ Linear actuators ▪ Rotational actuators

pros and cons

▪ Advantages

▪ Remote operation

▪ Magnetic locks can be turned on and off remotely by adjusting the power source.

▪ Easy to install

▪ Magnetic locks are generally easier to install than other locks since there are no interconnecting parts.

▪ Quick to operate

▪ Magnetic locks unlock instantly when the power is cut, allowing for quick release in comparison to other locks.

▪ Sturdy

▪ Magnetic locks may also suffer less damage from multiple blows than do conventional

  • locks. If a magnetic lock is forced open with a crowbar, it will often do little or no

damage to the door or lock. There are no moving parts in an electromagnetic lock to break.

pros and cons

▪Disadvantages

▪ Requires a constant power source in order to be secure. ▪ Can de-energize in the event of a power outage, disabling security. ▪ Expensive in comparison to mechanical locks. ▪ Requires additional hardware for safe operation.

Safe use

▪Don’t intentionally lock people in rooms ▪Use REX (request exit) buttons

▪ I prefer the timer based ones

▪Don’t hold/hang things over people without additional tethers ▪Fail Safe – can not lock people in ▪Fail Secure – can lock people in

mounting

  • 99% of maglocks are designed to

be mounted face to face

  • Special slide versions
  • Interlocking versions

Resistance to sliding is weak →

mounting

  • Perfect alignment is imperative!!!
  • Center bolt actually allows for

pivot.

electrical

  • One or more inductors/coils
  • Nothing more than a coil or winding of wire
  • Run current though it, you get a magnetic field
  • Can be run in series
  • Voltage is additive, current is the same
  • Can be run in parallel
  • Current is additive, voltage is the same

electrical

  • Most maglocks are designed for 12V or 24V
  • peration
  • 300lb, 420mA @ 12VDC, 210mA @ 24VDC
  • Inductive devices
  • This means they make a electrical spike when they

turn off

  • Spike can cause interference
  • Quality maglocks have protection built in

control

  • Relay – simple close circuit control
  • Robust, error tolerant, noisy
  • Transistor – solid state solution
  • More robust when used properly, not error tolerant, quiet
  • Solid state relay – solid state solution
  • More costly, slightly more fault tolerant, quiet
