VZR CP-402M – full-height mechanical turnstile
The VZR CP-402M is a classic full-height turnstile with an entirely mechanical drive. There is no electronics inside the unit at all — no control board, no drive motor, no reader, no power supply. The passing visitor turns the rotor, while a mechanical damper smooths the movement and a mechanical stop lets the rotor settle only in the closed position, so a passage can never be shared by two people.
Why fully mechanical matters- No power supply required. Nothing to wire, nothing to earth, no UPS, no consumption to pay for.
- Nothing electronic to fail. No boards, sensors or firmware — so no failures caused by moisture, thunderstorms, voltage surges or heat.
- No electronic servicing. Maintenance is limited to lubrication and a periodic check of the mechanism; no software updates, no diagnostics, no spare boards to stock.
- Immune to the outdoor environment. IP54 housing, hot-dip galvanised frame, suitable for permanent outdoor installation in rain, frost and dust.
- Vandal- and abuse-tolerant. A heavy welded rotor and frame handle continuous crowd pressure at closing time or after a show.
- Instantly understandable. Visitors push and walk — no card, no button, no staff assistance, no queue instructions in several languages.
Typical applications- Exit lanes at zoos, amusement parks, theme parks and water parks
- Botanical gardens, open-air museums, heritage sites and viewpoints
- Stadiums, arenas, event and festival grounds
- Beaches, campsites, ski areas and recreation grounds
- Unattended service gates, staff and contractor perimeter passages
- Combined layouts, where the CP-402M covers the exit and powered tripod or speedgate lanes cover the paid entry
