Miniature Shutter Mechanisms for Infrared Imaging & Laser Blocking

A1009 - .2" Diameter

Brandstrom Instruments has established a reputation for excellence in miniature devices for aircraft instrumentation. Recently our established products have come into the forefront as the optimal solution for blocking laser, infrared and other forms of light.

We now provide durable, long life shutter flags to the infrared imaging industry for chip calibration, and to the medical industry for optical functions in fluid analysis machines. The Brandstrom solenoid, with it's proven reliability, is perfectly suited for these critical applications.

Our rotary solenoid actuated shutters have been used to block apertures ranging from a few millimeters to two inches in diameter.  We can customize power requirements, travel, or blade dimensions to your specific configuration.  A variety of shutter blade thicknesses, surface finishes, and mounting arrangements are also available.

Shown here is a sample of our production shutters, with approximate blade dimensions shown in the mouseover tag.  For complete specs, please request a drawing. Samples are also available upon request.
