In the fitness and wellness world, where every detail enhances the user experience, Ojmar has once again raised the bar. The company has introduced its new OTS 40 Batteryless electronic lock — an innovation that blends technology, sustainability, and design to transform locker management in gyms, spas, and wellness centers around the globe.
International magazine Health Club Management highlighted this launch as one of the most significant developments in fitness equipment, emphasizing its ability to operate without batteries or wiring and its potential to deliver a more efficient, digital, and eco-friendly management model.
Energy that comes from movement
The secret behind the OTS 40 Batteryless lies in its Push Power system, capable of generating its own energy when the knob is pressed. Each use becomes a small act of energy independence, eliminating maintenance and the waste associated with disposable batteries.
Thanks to RFID + NFC connectivity, users can unlock with cards, wristbands, or smartphones, enjoying a seamless experience that benefits both operators and members.
Its online management capability enables real-time remote control, allowing staff to assign or open lockers instantly from any device.
As Aitor Elorza, Ojmar’s Sales and Marketing Director, explains: “This technology embodies our commitment to responsible innovation — creating products that enhance the user experience without compromising the planet.”
Efficiency, sustainability, and well-being
Modern fitness centers are increasingly seeking solutions that combine operational efficiency, sustainability, and user comfort.
The OTS 40 Batteryless delivers on all fronts — saving thousands of batteries each year, simplifying maintenance, and integrating effortlessly with existing access control systems.
Beyond performance, its environmental impact is remarkable. By eliminating batteries, it reduces the carbon footprint and prevents harmful waste from reaching the environment.
For gym operators, it’s a shift in priorities: less time spent on maintenance, more on delivering exceptional user experiences.
As one product manager put it, “Every Batteryless lock installed is a small step toward a cleaner, more sustainable world — without sacrificing design or technology.”
Internationally recognised leadership
The OTS 40 Batteryless has captured the attention not only of the fitness sector but also of the industrial design world.
The model has received prestigious awards such as the iF Design Award 2025, Best of Orgatec and the Mix North Awards, reinforcing Ojmar’s position as a global benchmark in innovation and sustainability.
These distinctions strengthen a trajectory spanning more than a century, during which the company has managed to evolve with technological change without losing its essence. From its origins in Eibar to its presence in more than 80 countries, Ojmar continues moving toward a new era of smart, connected and environmentally respectful locking solutions.
A new way of understanding innovation
For Ojmar, technology is not an end in itself but a tool to create more human and sustainable experiences.
The OTS 40 Batteryless embodies that spirit: a combination of functional design, Basque engineering and global vision.
Because innovating — as Ojmar demonstrates every day — is not just about inventing something new, but about improving people’s lives. And that is undoubtedly the best way to open the future.
