Why does the armature plate engage, but there is slight vibration and the holding force feels insufficient?

 If you encounter this situation, it usually indicates the electromagnetic lock is not working in its optimal state. YGS Lock provides the following professional troubleshooting ideas to help you quickly restore lock performance: This situation is usually caused by one of the following three reasons, please check one by one:

Voltage Fluctuation: The stability of the power supply is crucial to the performance of the electromagnetic lock.

Symptom Description: If the actual input voltage is unstable or fails to reach the rated voltage value required by the product (such as standard 12VDC/24VDC).

Consequence: This will directly lead to insufficient and unstable magnetic field intensity generated by the electromagnetic coil, triggering a drop in holding force and accompanying vibration phenomena. It is recommended to use a regulated power supply or check for line voltage drop.

Component Wear: For locks used for a long time, hardware wear and tear needs to be considered.

Symptom Description: After long-term high-frequency use, the internal core components of the lock (such as the electromagnetic coil) may experience performance attenuation or wear and aging.

Consequence: This physical level of loss will directly affect electromagnetic conversion efficiency, leading to a decline in overall performance, manifested as insufficient holding force and unstable operation.

Installation Misalignment: Mechanical installation precision is also a key factor.

Symptom Description: If the armature plate and lock body are not completely horizontally aligned and fitted during installation.

Consequence: This will cause uneven force on the contact surfaces of both, preventing magnetic field lines from acting maximally, thereby generating insufficient holding force and mechanical vibration during operation. Please readjust the installation position to ensure a perfect fit between the two.

Through the above troubleshooting, you can effectively locate and solve vibration and insufficient holding force issues. If further technical assistance is needed, please contact us at any time!
