Hot Sell 90 Degree Fold Barrier Arm for Automatic Boom Barrier Gate Parking Aluminum Arm with Red/Green LED Complete Kit
Description:
Circular foam folding barrier arm is a specific type of articulated barrier arm used in automatic barrier gates, typically for vehicle access control in parking lots, residential areas, or other restricted zones. The “circular foam” aspect refers to the arm’s material or design, which often includes a foam coating or padding to enhance safety by reducing impact damage to vehicles or pedestrians. The “folding” (or articulated) feature allows the arm to bend at a joint, at a 90-degree angle, making it suitable for spaces with height restrictions, such as underground parking garages.
Specifications:
Model No.: EF-ARM90RF
Foam tube outer diameter: 80mm
Fixed hole diameter: 10mm
Aluminum tube outer diameter: 50mm
Material: lightweight aluminum alloy with a foam coating
Key Features:
Design and Structure:
The arm is typically circular in cross-section and coated with foam soft material to minimize damage upon contact. This is particularly useful in high-traffic areas to prevent scratches or dents to vehicles.
The folding mechanism allows the arm to retract vertically at a 90-degree angle, ideal for low-ceiling environments like underground parking lots.
Arm lengths are customizable, often ranging from 3 to 6 meters.
Safety Features:
Anti-collision: Foam padding absorbs impact, reducing damage to vehicles or the gate itself.
Entrapment Protection: Features like infrared sensors, pressure wave detection, or auto-reverse mechanisms ensure the arm stops or reverses if an obstacle is detected.
Visibility: could be equipped with reflective strips or LED lights (e.g., red for closed, green for open) for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
Operation:
Speed: Folding arms typically have opening/closing times of 3–7 seconds, depending on length and motor type (e.g., 6 seconds for a 90-degree fold).
Control Methods: Supports remote control, RFID, push buttons, or integration with license plate recognition systems for automated operation.
Manual Override: Includes a manual release clutch for operation during power outages.
Materials:
The arm is typically made of lightweight aluminum alloy with a foam coating for safety. The foam may be weather-resistant to withstand outdoor conditions.
Applications:
Ideal for underground parking garages, residential communities, enterprise campuses, or areas with height restrictions where a straight arm would be impractical.
Used in scenarios requiring enhanced safety due to frequent vehicle or pedestrian interaction.
Foam-coated folding arms are marketed for safety and adaptability in constrained spaces.
