DACO Instrument Co.

United States

DACO is best-known for its advanced optical shutter devices. These devices are designed to be optical or "beam blockers" for a host of applications. These units are comprised of solenoid body and the shutter. Any application that requires a rotational motion to block or interrupt a beam is a potential candidate for our Optical Shutter Devices. Product Classes We design and manufacture two main product classes of advanced optical shutter devices: Bi-Stable Shutters - Pulse-driven shutter devices that move and stay at their onoff positions until they receive the reverse pulse to move to the other position. Discover More About DACO Bi-Stable Shutters Spring Shutters - Power-driven shutter devices that only move when power is applied. No power returns the device to the off position. Common Applications Airborne Instruments Aircraft Instruments CCD Cameras Fiber Optics Medical Thermal Imaging - Night Vision Goggles Available Sizes Various sizes of solenoidsshutters are available. DACO focuses on custom miniature solenoids with specific sizes ranging from 0.38" to 0.50" diameter. We have, however, the capability to design any sizeshape of the solenoidshutter that's required for your application. Our core focus is with custom solutions for our customers.

DACO Rotary Solenoid devices can be used in virtually any device that requires rotational motion. These are extremely rugged, highly reliable and available in a wide selection of models, sizes and mounting features. Product Classes We design and manufacture two main product classes of rotary solenoids: Bi-Stable Solenoids - Pulse-driven solenoid devices that provide rotational motion to the center shaft to move and stay at their onoff positions until they receive the reverse pulse to move to the original position.

DACO Desiccators Moisture condensation as a result of temperature and air pressure changes during flight causes optical instruments to fog and electrical systems to degrade. To alleviate these problems, DACO designs and manufactures systems to eliminate moisture from airborne equipment. DACO desiccators are small, efficient air drying and breathing devices designed for attachment to airborne instruments. Discover More About DACO Desiccators
