Shot Bolt Solenoids

NSF Controls is a leading UK manufacturer and supplier of solenoids and related products.

What Are Shot Bolts?

Based on our range of tried and tested tubular solenoids, shotbolts combine reliability and long life in a single-point fixing solution.

NSF Controls shotbolts are suited to diverse applications, including access control, mechanical vending, and security. Our shot bolts are capable of stroke lengths up to 15mm and are maintenance-free due to their enclosed design. The shot bolt is spring-loaded to the locked position.

Releasing the shot bolt is easy and efficient, requiring only a short application of power to the solenoid. This quick-release mechanism enables rapid access when needed.
