Magnetic Access Control
Vehicle barriers, fare gates, turnstiles, and toll systems for high-throughput access control.
Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia)
Magnetic Access is a German access-control manufacturer and part of the FAAC Technologies group. It builds the hardware that controls where vehicles and people move through a site: vehicle barriers, FlowMotion pedestrian gates, AFC fare gates, full-height turnstiles, toll booms, and matching terminals. At the core of every barrier is the MHTM MicroDrive, a maintenance-free unit rated for up to 10 million opening and closing cycles. Magnetic systems run at airports, metro networks, and toll roads worldwide.
Why Magnetic Access Control?
Magnetic Access designs and builds its access control systems in Germany and is part of the FAAC Technologies group, a global access-automation manufacturer. Its barriers, gates, and turnstiles are specified and installed around the world.
Every Magnetic barrier runs on the MHTM MicroDrive. It is maintenance-free, energy-efficient, and quiet, and it delivers high torque even in extreme weather, giving a rated service life of up to 10 million opening and closing cycles.
Magnetic builds for throughput. Toll booms and MPR fare gates open in about 0.3 seconds, in both directions, which clears highway toll plazas and rush-hour metro crowds without forming queues.
Every Magnetic barrier carries a Declaration of Conformity to the Machinery Directive and a Declaration of Performance to the Construction Products Directive. Security options include induction-loop tailgate detection and climb-over prevention up to a 6.0 m barrier span.
Magnetic products available through DNH
Magnetic's range covers four main system families. Every Magnetic barrier runs on the maintenance-free MHTM MicroDrive and carries a Declaration of Conformity to the Machinery Directive and a Declaration of Performance to the Construction Products Directive.
Boom barriers for site access, car parks, and perimeters, from the compact to wide-span. Parking Pro handles heavily used car parks with induction-loop detection of tailgating vehicles.
High-speed toll booms for tolled highways and lane control, built for continuous, high-throughput duty. After a boom strike the barrier re-engages automatically or by hand so the lane keeps running.
Ticketing and access terminals that pair with the barriers, plus modular controls that interface with common ticketing and access-control systems. The Terminal-MXL front panel unlocks with a single key and pulls out on telescopic rails for quick ticket servicing.
FlowMotion pedestrian gates for high-volume, user-friendly access, plus MPR fare gates for automatic ticket inspection and MPT full-height turnstiles for perimeter security.
Where Magnetic Access Control fits in your industry
Magnetic systems run at airports, metro networks, toll roads, corporate campuses, and industrial sites. The four below are the strongest fit.
Application examples
DNH supplied access control gate hardware for Gautrain, South Africa's rapid rail network, where fare gates move large volumes of commuters through the stations while controlling paid access. Gates on a network like this run continuous, high-cycle duty through the morning and evening peaks and stop a second traveller tailgating through on one fare.
Magnetic MPR pedestrian fare gates run in high-volume metro networks worldwide, including Dubai Metro and Delhi Metro. The MPR flap opens in about 0.3 seconds, works in both directions, and interfaces with any ticket system, which is what lets it check fares automatically through a rush-hour crowd.
Magnetic vehicle barriers and toll systems run at major airports and on tolled highways worldwide, including Frankfurt Airport and the Ohio Turnpike. The MHTM MicroDrive opens in as little as 0.3 seconds and is rated for up to 10 million cycles.
