Hörmann high-speed door with spring weight compensation

With spring weight compensation and an opening speed of over 4 m/s, the HS 5040 TurboLux S from Hörmann is the fastest spiral door in the world. The version with maintenance-free counterweights is almost as fast at a maximum of 3.5 m/s. The closing speed of the door is 1.0 m/s. With their high opening and closing speeds, high-speed doors such as the Hörmann TurboLux spiral door fulfil important functions in the interior and exterior areas of industrial and logistics buildings: they minimize waiting times at entrances and passages, reduce energy and ventilation losses and lower the risk of collision, for example with industrial trucks in daily operation.

Extremely high speed in two versions

The Hörmann TurboLux spiral door is available in two versions with a maximum width and height of 5000 mm. The difference between the two versions lies in the balancing of the weights: The HS 5040 TurboLux S opens with spring weight balancing in over 4 m/s, making it the fastest spiral door in the world. This extremely high opening speed reduces ventilation losses and ensures high energy efficiency and cost savings. At the same time, waiting times during passage are reduced, collisions with people and vehicles are prevented and the material flow is optimized and accelerated.

The HS 5040 TurboLux opens with maintenance-free counterweights, which ensure particularly quiet and low-wear door operation. The opening speed of this door is still high at a maximum of 3.5 m/s.

Door leaf with 90 percent transparency

Around 90 percent of the TurboLux door leaf is transparent. This allows maximum incidence of light and a clear view. The door leaf consists of narrow aluminum profiles and impact-resistant, frameless polycarbonate sections with a height of 550 mm. The homogeneous door leaf appearance is not disturbed by hinges or vertical bars. The design complies with wind resistance class 2 (DIN 12424) and is suitable as an internal and external door. The design is also optionally available with tested class 4 wind resistance. Instead of the clear view, foiling in various preferred and special colors is also possible on request.

Property and personal protection

The HS 5040 TurboLux spiral doors can be used as internal and external doors. The door curtain is 90 percent transparent and can be laminated on request. The doors are supplied pre-assembled and can be installed by two fitters within one day. © Hörmann

Like all high-speed doors from Hörmann, TurboLux doors have a safety light grid with a small beam distance of just 45 mm as standard. This reliably detects obstacles up to an opening height of max. 2500 mm. Each light beam can be evaluated individually to create a detailed fault analysis. If a person or object is detected in the door area, the light curtain prevents a collision before it occurs. The door is braked gently and with low wear using the soft-stop function. See the Hörmann safety light curtain for high-speed doors in action in this video.

Quick and space-saving installation

The internal drive of the TurboLux doors is located in the middle of the spiral to save space and is protected from dust, moisture and damage by a transparent shaft cover. The drive's spur gear is particularly low-wear and designed for more than 1 million cycles. The small space requirement of the side panels ensures a maximum clear passage width. Hörmann Turbo-Lux doors are supplied pre-assembled and can be installed by two fitters within one day.
