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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
