Switches Features
A Motor Electronic Lock is an electromechanical locking device that uses a small motor to engage or disengage the locking mechanism. These locks are commonly used in smart lockers, vending machines, parcel cabinets, safes, access control systems, and electronic doors.
Basic Working Principle
The motor inside the lock receives an electrical signal (e.g., from a microcontroller, keypad, fingerprint reader, or remote system). When activated:
-
The DC motor rotates, driving a gear train.
-
The gear movement pushes or pulls a latch bolt or cam mechanism.
-
Once the action completes, the motor may return to its original position, or the lock may remain in its new state until another signal is received.
Main Components
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| DC Motor | Powers the lock/unlock movement |
| Gearbox | Converts motor speed into high-torque motion |
| Lock Mechanism | Moves latch or hook to lock/unlock |
| Limit Switches | Detects open/close state and stops motor |
| Housing | Protects internal mechanism, often metal or ABS |
✅ Key Features
