Bi-Stable rotary solenoids
The Bi-Stable rotary solenoid uses a cylindrical permanent magnet in the rotor, and rotates through the repulsion and attraction between the permanent magnet and the magnetic poles generated in the yoke.
Even when power is cut off, the position is maintained by the holding force of the permanent magnet.
Unlike conventional general rotary solenoids that convert linear motion (thrust direction motion) into rotational motion through a mechanical structure,
this design directly produces rotational motion, so there is no movement in the shaft direction, achieving a longer lifespan.
Applications 
Shutter opening/closing, high-speed sorters, coin stoppers, high-speed 2-way valves
Step rotary solenoids
Step rotary solenoids apply the structural principles of bi-stable rotary solenoids by increasing the number of magnetic poles in the rotor's permanent magnet and yoke, enabling multi-position control. As with bi-stable rotary solenoids, they rotate (step) through the repulsion and attraction between the rotor's permanent magnet and the magnetic poles generated in the yoke, allowing for high-speed switching between multiple positions.
Applications 
Light modulation, selector valves
Latching solenoids
Latching solenoids are self-holding linear solenoids that use permanent magnets. They hold their position using the adhesive force of permanent magnets, resulting in energy savings.
There are two circuit types: "bistable solenoids" and "monostable solenoids."
Applications 
Chucks, electric locks
Bi-stable Optical Shutters
These are integrated units with rotary solenoids designed for optical shutters, equipped with shutter plates and positioning stoppers. Fine adjustment and angle alignment of the shutter plate are not required.
We guarantee angle, response time, durability, and operational performance in the unit state.
Applications 
Shutter opening/closing
Multi Light Shutters
Opening and closing movements are performed by switching the current, maintaining a stable response speed. The position is held by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet even when power is cut off, resulting in energy savings.
Applications 
Shutter opening/closing
General-purpose solenoid valves
Solenoid valves can open and close valve bodies with electrical ON/OFF signals, allowing fluid to be stopped or allowed to flow.
They have been adopted in applications requiring high-speed response and long service life.
Applications 
High-durability air control drive parts for industrial equipment, air control drive parts for FA equipment
Solenoid Valves (Chemically Inert)
A pinch valve is a valve that opens and closes the flow path by pinching a rubber tube. Since liquid materials do not flow inside the valve body, no liquid pools form, making it hygienic and suitable for controlling pharmaceuticals.
Ideal as valves for medical and analytical instruments.
Applications 
Flow path opening/closing in blood cell counters, switching drive valves, reagent control valves for chemical analyzers, control of liquids containing slurry
Proportional Solenoid Valves
These solenoid valves are designed for applications requiring freely controlled output flow. Unlike general ON/OFF solenoid valves, they can provide flow output proportional to the input current value throughout the entire flow range from valve closed to fully open (0-100%).
They enable automation of processes where flow was previously adjusted manually.
They have been adopted in various fields including semiconductor, medical, and general industrial sectors.
Applications 
Gas control valves for mass flow controllers, control valves for anesthesia machines/respirators/oxygen concentrators/gas burners/environmental and measuring instruments
Compact Mass Flow Controllers
These controllers enable flow output according to specified flow values. The output flow is not affected by changes in operating pressure or ambient temperature, allowing for high-precision flow control.
Applications 
Gas flow control for analytical and environmental measuring instruments, gas flow control for anesthesia machines and oxygen concentrators
Magnetic hands
Magnetic hands are electromagnetic actuators composed of an iron core and a coil, which attract magnetic materials only while current is flowing through their magnetic action.
With a simple structure, they are reliable, compact, and powerful functional components.
Takano magnetic hands are designed with high performance to suppress residual magnetism during attraction.
Applications 
Metal impurity removal, workpiece fixation
