Explosive Bolts are designed to separate cleanly along
a predetermined fracture plane. Our designs include Standard Pressure
Actuated, Ridge-Cut, Piston Actuated and Hydrodynamic (Pressure
Amplified) explosive bolts. An explosive charge, located within
a cavity in the bolt, provides the energetic stimulus required for
bolt fracture. Explosive bolts such as, Dual Separation Bolts, Electrically
Actuated Explosive Bolt Assemblies, Hydrodynamic (Pressure amplified)/
Piston Actuated and Ridge-Cut Bolts are supplied in a wide range
of sizes and configurations tailored to suit structural loading,
envelope and environmental requirements. Bolts range in tensile
capacity from as little as 1400 pounds (.25 inch diameter) to as
much as 557,000 pounds (5.75 inches diameter). Run your mouse over
it image to the right to view an example of an exploded bolt. |
