Why Optical Shutters Are Essential

KUYANG designs and manufactures miniature solenoid-based optical shutters for infrared cameras, thermal cameras, mapping cameras, digital cameras, hunting cameras, and night-vision scopes. Our shutters eliminate the need for mechanical output shafts or springs, using magnetic polarity switching to achieve stable, precise, and high-speed operation, ensuring long-term reliability.

Key Features

  • High Precision – Accurate light blocking without leakage or angle deviation, essential for reliable infrared calibration.
  • High Speed – Solenoid-driven rapid open/close cycles support high-frame-rate imaging and fast NUC calibration.
  • Low Power Consumption – Dual-stable self-holding design consumes power only during opening/closing.
  • Durability – Life cycle exceeds hundreds of thousands of operations, suitable for intensive use.
  • Quiet Operation – Optimized mechanical design ensures ultra-quiet performance.
  • Rich Lineup – Includes window-type, swing/rotary-type, and circular through-hole types.
  • Customization / ODM & OEM – Tailored solutions for specialized imaging systems.

Shutter Types

  • Swing-Type – Rotating blade, stable and simple, for thermal imaging and night-vision devices.
  • Window-Type – Linear sliding, ideal for compact IR cameras and space-limited modules.
  • High-Speed-Type – Millisecond-level switching for UAV imaging, mapping cameras, and high-speed photography.
