Advanced Optical Spring Shutters

DACO has been manufacturing spring return solenoids for over 50 years. Our advanced optical spring shutter devices are designed, engineered and precision-built specifically to meet the exacting demands of military/defense industry.

These are extremely rugged, highly reliable and available in a wide selection of models, sizes and mounting features. Contact us for more information.

How it Works

DACO advanced optical spring shutter devices are designed to move to the energized position when it receives operating voltage. The unit will remain in that position while the voltage is applied. When the voltage is removed, the shutter comes back to its de-energized state.

Spring Shutter Interactivity

Press the power button to see the effect when voltage is supplied to the advanced optical spring shutter. The shutter will remain in this position as long as you press the power button. As soon as you release the power button, indicating that the applied voltage is removed, the shutter will return to its de-energized position.

The Shockwave Flash Player is required to view the spring shutter interactivity above.
