EBAD TiNi frangibolt

EBAD’s frangibolt actuators are designed to operate with an EBAD supplied Titanium notched Fastener (#4 to ½” size). Various sizes are available with a nominal tensile strength ranging from 630 lbf (2,802 N) to 15,000 lbF (66,723 N) and are recommended for use in bolted joints between 400 lbF (6,227 N) to 7,000 lbF (31,130 N) of preload. As with all EBAD TiNi products, key attributes include non-pyrotechnic, field reset-able and redundant firing circuits. Additional hardware to support the customer joint design include customer washer/hex nuts, enclosures, instrumented fasteners and switch washers for autonomous shut off.
The EBAD TiNi™ Frangibolt ® actuator is a simple and effective way to support and release loads up to 20,000 lbf. The principle of operation is simple: A Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) cylinder elongates to fracture a bolt or stud thereby achieving separation of two or more components. Standard Fastener sizes range from # 8 size screws to ¾” bolts.
