Abstract
A high speed actuator for controlling the shutter in x-ray equipment so as to eliminate transition time during which the x-ray dose is wasted. The actuator includes a driving solenoid for rotating and axially displacing a shutter member so as to move a shutter aperture to an open position, a mechanical arrangement for blocking movement of the member when the shutter aperture reaches the open position, and an electro-magnetic brake, having an armature and coil, interconnected with the driving solenoid such that braking engagement between the armature and coil is effected by movement of the shutter member and aperture to the open position.
