How do the drive, damping, and locking mechanisms operate on the TS-1 MD (SL)?

Answer:
The TS-1 MD (SL) utilizes a motorized, hands-free drive with automatic drop-arm release and auto-reset. It features a heavy-duty solenoid positive action lock that prevents multiple passages per authorization, hydraulic damping for smooth self-centering to rest position, and a mechanical anti-reverse lock that engages once the arm rotates 25º past rest.

The Sivananda TS-1 MD (SL) incorporates automated motorized rotation paired with mechanical failsafes for secure pedestrian management:

  • Motorized Hands-Free Drive: Provides motorized assistance once validated, rotating through a 3 x 120º stop position tripod head indexing mechanism with automatic reset.
  • Drop-Arm Mechanism: Includes an automatic drop-arm feature for immediate barrier clearance.
  • Anti-Tailgating & Locking: Solenoid-actuated positive action locking prevents two pedestrian passages on a single transaction. A mechanical anti-reverse mechanism prevents opposite-direction rotation once the arm travels 25º past the rest position.
  • Hydraulic Damping: A self-centering mechanism with integrated hydraulic damping ensures the rotor head glides quietly and smoothly back to its resting position after passage.
  • Lane Signaling: Built-in illuminated Green Arrow and Red Cross indicators provide visual directional status to users.
  • Material Construction: Mild steel powder-coated casework, stainless steel tripod arms, mild steel powder-coated tripod hub index, and high-strength rust-free alloy internal mechanism components.
