BI-STABLE OPTICAL SHUTTERS
- Choose from various sizes to fit space-limited applications.
- Built-in permanent magnet ensures low power consumption for energy-efficient operation.
- Unlike conventional shutters using springs, Takano Optical Shutters use magnetic forces by switching current direction, enabling extremely high speed and power.
- Expected lifespan exceeds 5 million cycles.
- Takano leverages expertise to design custom solutions tailored to your unique shape, size, angle, and performance needs.
To "change intensity or color of light"

BI-STABLE ROTARY SOLENOIDS
- The bi-stable solenoid rotates in both directions with each current reversal and holds its position after power-off using a permanent magnet—no spring needed.
- High power and fast response by switching current direction instead of using a spring.
- No axial shaft motion; external stops reduce impact noise. Internal stop types use buffers to limit noise and vibration.
- Long life with no sliding parts except the bearing.

LATCHING SOLENOIDS
- DC-powered pull-in; holds position with permanent magnet after coil is de-energized.
- Holds position with permanent magnets—no power or locking needed, avoiding coil heating.
- Cost efficient
