Solenoid lock for vending machines

Door locks for vending machines must be extremely tamper-proof to ensure safe operation. Kendrion's electromagnetic lock features a sleek design and multiple functions.

More security for vending machines

Even after opening hours, vending machines can supply customers, employees, or passers-by with food and non-food items. Since the vending machines are operated 24/7 and without personnel, they must be particularly secured against manipulation, vandalism, and burglary.

A reliable door lock offers high security.

It is precisely for this problem that the safe and reliable solenoid lock from Kendrion is used to lock the vending machine door with a high max. static locking force of 1,600N. The heart of the door lock is an integrated linear solenoid, which can be easily controlled and enables fast unlocking for the exchange of goods. The overall system achieves a long service life (100,000 cycles) and integrates various functions such as an emergency release and microswitches to detect the locking position.

Two Locks – The Right Solution for Your Application

With a very high holding force of at least 1,600 N and shock resistance up to 100 g, Kendrion now offers a solenoid door lock focused on safety.

Solenoid door lock SL/AL

The SL/AL solenoid lock is designed for the reliable locking of doors and hatches — both with and without seals. 
An integrated solenoid enables quick unlocking and straightforward electrical control.
With a maximum static holding force of 1,600 N, a service life of up to 100,000 switching cycles, and optional features such as emergency release and position detection, the solenoid lock is a robust solution for vending machines and numerous other industrial applications.

Ultra Compact Lock

The Ultra Compact Lock was developed specifically for space-constrained and battery-powered locking systems. 

Its innovative shape-memory wire technology requires only a short electrical pulse to unlock. When locking, the locking piston automatically engages again without requiring a continuous power supply.

With dimensions of just 45 × 45 × 15 mm, a static holding force of up to 5,000 N, and optional shock resistance of up to 300 g, the Ultra Compact Lock combines a highly compact design with high mechanical strength. Its low power consumption extends battery life and reduces maintenance requirements.
