Magnetic Installs Pedestrian Railway Gates In America

Magnetic Autocontrol's Railway Pedestrian barrier, offers a block-able and short-circuit-proof torque motor, which is used in almost every Magnetic Autocontrol product. The gates, linkages, drive housing and posts are of robust construction to resist intentional damage by vandals. The Magnetic Torque drive has a protective indexing clutch and shock absorbing springs, built in to prevent internal damage in case the gate is forced against its motion during operation.

In addition, the torque motor can be stopped in any position without overheating or suffering any damage. Torque motors always produce a certain degree of heat so that there is no risk of freezing or condensation - even in cold climates.

A Sonalert located in the drive mechanism produces a warning sound followed by the gate closing, thereby preventing pedestrian access across the tracks. While the gate is closed there is an emergency exit for anyone caught on the tracks. After the train has passed, the gate opens and once again allows access across the tracks. The MRG Railway Gate offers safety, reliability, and virtually maintenance free operation.

The MRG Gates where installed in July of 2001.

Magnetic Autocontrol's wide range of products makes it possible to offer the market the right solution for every problem in the field of traffic and pedestrian control.
