Linear Optical Shutter

Product introduction

Takano Linear Optical Shutter MLS-0808 utilizes a Bi-stable Miniature Electromagnetic Actuator to generate the linear motion of the shutter blade. This unique structure enables its use in applications where weight and space are at a premium.


  1. Compact, Low Profile, Light Weight

    In addition to the miniature electromagnetic actuator enabling MLS-0808 to be compact and light weight, the linear motion of the shutter blade makes its body low profile. All of these space saving, easy integration features dedicate to your application to be compact and light weight.

  2. Energy Saving

    MLS-0808 is bi-stable and pulse driven. Energization is only required when closing or opening the shutter.

  3. Mechanical Characteristics

    It can be simply mounted in the light path with 2 screws. Customization of mounting and frame are available.
