Pyrotechnic Piston Actuators

Pyrotechnic Piston Actuators

  • Pyrotechnic piston actuators mechanically move the piston inside the actuator when fired with an electrical current, all within milliseconds.
  • Aerospace and Defense Applications: Explosive piston actuators are widely used in aviation and defense systems for various purposes such as load distribution, missile launching, emergency escape mechanisms, satellite release systems, and more.
  • Vehicle Stage and Hatch Separation: Explosive piston actuators are used to push apart vehicle stages and hatches during space launches or aviation missions.
  • Marine and Underwater Operations: Explosive piston actuators can be used in various mechanisms for triggering, releasing loads, or facilitating underwater operations in marine and underwater applications.
  • MIL-STD-1316B, MIL-STD-1901A, NASA-STD-8719.24A
