Pressure cartridges Pressure Cartridges are self-contained units that are initiated electrically or mechanically and produce sustained output pressure for downstream mechanical work. They are designed to perform in wide range of temperatures and severe environments. Contact Initiators Chemring Energetic Devices' initiators create high-heat, high-pressure combustion energy by igniting the pyrotechnic mixture inside a controlled chamber. Initiators are hermetically sealed electro-explosive devices characterized by their compactness, lightness in weight, and extremely high reliability. Contact Actuators, Retractors and Systems Chemring Energetic Devices' actuators, retractors, and systems are highly reliable, compact single shot devices which can push, pull, cut or shear. They operate within milliseconds of receiving the appropriate electrical impulse, a rate which is almost impossible to achieve with a mechanical source of energy. Contact Time Delay Devices Pyrotechnic time delays provide the necessary sequencing or critical events in crew escape systems in today’s fighter and transport aircraft. Chemring Energetic Devices manufactures qualified products with time delays ranging from 0.25 to 4+ seconds. Contact Ejection handles and sequencers Chemring Energetic Devices' components form an integral part during an ejection seat event. The firing of the seat starts by pulling one of the ejection handles, while sequencers provide sequencing logic for the continuation of the escape sequence. Contact Gas Generators Gas generators are self-contained units that are initiated electrically or mechanically and produce sustained output pressure for downstream mechanical work. They are designed to perform in wide range of temperatures and severe environments. Contact Cutters Chemring’s pyrotechnic cutters are manufactured for various commercial and military applications, including crew egress, where a reliable severing mechanism required. Contact Canopy Remover Thruster Chemring’s canopy remover thruster is used in aircraft emergency systems that accepts input from Shielded Mild Detonating Cord (SMDC) in order to unlatch and remove the hatch completely. Contact Thermal Battery The thermal battery is a hermitically sealed power source installed in the emergency escape system on an aircraft that provides and electrical signal to the Electronic Interseat Sequencer (EIS).
