MS500 Swing Barrier
Entrance Automation
The MORX MS500 is a wide-passage swing barrier built for entry points that need to move more than just people — luggage trolleys, parcels, and wheelchair access all pass through its 600mm lane width without slowing down regular foot traffic. A DC brushless motor drives the swing panels at up to 50 people per minute, while the SUS304 stainless steel body is rated for both indoor and covered outdoor installation. The MS500 works as a standalone unit with dry contact/relay signal input, and supports optional integration with card readers, biometric devices, QR scanners, or coin/ticket systems depending on the site's access control setup. Mivanta supplies the MS500 to system integrators and security dealers across India.
The MORX MS500 Swing Barrier is a pedestrian access control turnstile designed around a 600mm passage width — noticeably wider than the narrow lanes on most tripod turnstiles or flap barriers. This width matters at entry points that need to handle more than standard foot traffic: airport-style luggage trolleys, hotel bell carts, hospital equipment, delivery parcels, or wheelchair access, all without requiring a separate wide-lane gate alongside the main entrance.
Each lane pairs a stainless steel pedestal with a swinging glass panel, driven by a 20W DC brushless motor. The motor delivers a rated throughput of 40 to 50 people per minute — fast enough for shift-change or peak-hour traffic at office lobbies and transit points without creating a queue at the barrier. Anti-tailgating detection means the system enforces one-person-per-authorization passage even at this speed, closing the panel before a second, unauthorized person can follow through.
The MS500 ships as a standalone mechanical and electrical unit — SUS304 cabinet, DC brushless drive, dry contact/relay signal I/O, voice prompt feedback — and connects to whichever access control method the site already uses through a standard access controller. Mivanta's datasheet lists eight compatible authentication options: swipe card, iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, palm vein recognition, coin/ticket, face recognition, QR code, and manual operation. This makes the MS500 a single hardware platform that can serve very different site requirements — a metro station using coin/ticket entry, a corporate office using card or face recognition, a gym using QR code membership scans — without needing a different barrier model for each.
600mm Wide Passage
Purpose-built for wider access needs — luggage trolleys, parcel carts, and wheelchair passage — without needing a separate accessible lane alongside a standard-width barrier.
DC Brushless Motor (20W)
A 20W DC brushless motor drives the swing panel mechanism — delivering the quieter operation, lower maintenance, and longer service life that brushless motors offer over standard AC drives, at a compact power draw.
40–50 People Per Minute Throughput
Rated flow rate of 40 to 50 people per minute, keeping entry moving during peak hours without a queue building at the barrier — the panel opens and resets fast enough for continuous single-file passage.
Anti-Tailgating Protection
Enforces strict one-person-per-authorization passage, closing the panel to prevent a second, unauthorized person from following an authorized user through the same open cycle.
SUS304 Stainless Steel Cabinet
Cabinet material is SUS304 — the same corrosion-resistant stainless steel grade standard in Indian turnstile and barrier equipment — rated for indoor use and covered outdoor installation.
IP44 Rated, Wide Temperature Range
IP44 ingress protection with an operating range of -10°C to 60°C and 5–85% humidity tolerance — suitable for covered entry points across most Indian climate conditions, though not for fully exposed outdoor installation.
Dry Contact / Relay Signal I/O
Standard dry contact/relay signal input means the MS500 connects to virtually any external access controller or card reader system without needing proprietary signal converters.
Voice Prompt Feedback
Built-in voice prompt gives users audible confirmation on valid or invalid access attempts, reinforcing the visual LED status indicator on each pedestal.
Eight Optional Access Control Methods
The MS500 supports integration with swipe card, RFID reader, iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, palm vein recognition, coin/ticket, face recognition, QR code, or manual operation — letting one hardware platform serve very different site authentication requirements.
Automated Entry/Exit Counting
Accurately counts pedestrian entries, useful for footfall reporting, occupancy tracking, and reducing dependency on manned entrance attendants.
Railway & Metro Stations
The 600mm wide passage and coin/ticket compatibility make the MS500 suited to transit environments needing to handle passengers with luggage alongside standard ticketed entry, at throughput rates that match commuter peak-hour volumes.
Hotels
Wide-passage access handles bell carts and guest luggage at lobby entry points, while card or QR-based authentication integrates with existing hotel guest access systems.
Banks & Financial Institutions
Controlled, dignified entry for customer-facing branches — the open glass-panel design avoids the confined feel of a full-height turnstile while still enforcing single-person access control.
Clubs & Membership Facilities
QR code and card-based entry suit membership-driven access — gyms, clubs, and recreational facilities can scan membership QR codes or cards directly at the barrier without a separate check-in desk.
Corporate Offices
Card, fingerprint, or face recognition integration at office lobby entrances manages employee and visitor access while the 40–50 ppm throughput handles shift-start and shift-end volume without queuing. For vehicle access at the same site, see Mivanta's Boom Barrier range for the complete entrance automation setup.
Gyms & Fitness Centers
Fast QR or card-based entry for members, with the wide passage accommodating equipment carts and accessibility needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The MS500's 600mm passage width is wider than most standard swing barriers, specifically accommodating luggage trolleys, parcel carts, and wheelchair access — making it suited to hotels, transit stations, and any site needing accessible-width entry alongside standard pedestrian control.
The MS500 unit itself is the barrier mechanism — motor, panels, cabinet, and control electronics. Card readers, biometric devices (fingerprint, iris, palm vein, face recognition), QR scanners, and coin/ticket systems are optional integrations, chosen based on the site's specific access control requirement.
The MS500 is rated for 40 to 50 people per minute, making it suitable for peak-hour entry at offices, transit stations, and high-footfall commercial buildings without creating a bottleneck at the barrier.
The MS500 carries an IP44 rating and is designed for indoor use or covered outdoor installation — not for fully exposed outdoor locations facing direct rain or extreme weather. For fully outdoor entry points, confirm environmental protection requirements with Mivanta's technical team.
Eight optional authentication methods are supported: swipe card, iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, palm vein recognition, coin/ticket, face recognition, QR code, and manual operation — allowing the same barrier hardware to serve different site requirements without a different model for each authentication type.
The MS500 runs on a 20W DC brushless motor — a low power draw that keeps running costs minimal even for continuous high-cycle operation across a full working day.
