About

Since 1972, Brandstrom Instruments has been a manufacturer of quality rotary solenoids for varied applications.

Over the years, building on our reputation for quality, Brandstrom Instruments has expanded its customer base from aerospace to include tier one defense contractors, scientific laser systems, spectroscopy and bioscience, as well as space-based systems.

Our concurrent engineering and manufacturing approach allows us to work promptly with our customers from the conceptual stage of a design through to completion. All designs are done using SolidWorks 3D design software.

The concurrent engineering process provides a collaborative environment where Brandstrom engineers and the customer address design criteria through sketches or 3D models. Once the model has been approved for form and fit, a control drawing is provided for final approval. A design can either start with low rate production to validate product performance or ramp up to full rate production immediately after approval.

We are equipped with multi-axis Swiss type CNC machines, capable of complicated components with tight tolerance and high repeatability. We can produce stamped or machined solenoid attachments out of a variety of materials and can machine features into attachments for the installation of filters or lenses. Mounting details can be machined into the solenoid body, thus reducing assembly time/labor on your installation level.
