About
Explosive bolts efficiently secure two objects and strategically explode, jettisoning those objects on command. These pyrotechnic fasteners feature machined geometries controlling separation location and breaking strength. Applications include missiles, launch vehicles, spacecraft, and marine uses requiring rapid structural separation. Available in standard and ridge-cut configurations with tensile capacities ranging from 200 pounds to 1,000,000 pounds.
