Product Overview

The D23 Optical Shutter is a high-performance device based on Kendrion's rotary solenoids D2. It is designed to block light and laser beams for safety purposes, suitable for applications in medical instruments, aeronautical instruments, fiber optic signal transmission systems, and mass photometry.

The shutter is characterized by its reliability, durability, and fast switching time of approximately 30 ms. It supports at least 10 million switching cycles, ensuring reliable continuous operation. Integrated photocells allow for detection of the switching position, and an integrated damping mechanism optimizes the bouncing effect.

Key Features
  • High lifetime
  • Fast closing time
  • Photocell end position detection
  • Capability to close the aperture in case of power failure
  • Low emission materials
  • Customization flexibility
