It is designed to operate with a NAS 3/8" size bolt or stud 1. The 10,000 lbf breaking strength of the Fastener is suitable for applications which require up to 5,000 lbf load holding capability. As with all other Frangibolt actuators, the FC6-32-7SR2 is designed to have a high fatigue life and is easily reset using TiNi's portable compression tool FBT-CT3. Temperature sensors in the form of thermocouples or RTDs (Resistive Temperature Detectors) may be incorporated by adding a TC or RTD to the part number, respectively. 1 TiNi Aerospace must provide the specially notched Titanium fastener. This is largely application dependent and is readily manufactured to customer specification.   Function Time 2 (@ 23º C) Specifications Max Load Support & Release 22,000 N (5000 lb-f) Max Joint Length 8.25 cm (3.25 in) Operational Voltage 22 to 36 Vdc   Minimum Operating Temp. -65 oC (-85  oF) Maximum Operating Temp. 2 +80 oC (176 oF) Heater Resistance  7.0 Ohms   Mass 100 gm (3.53 oz) Power Consumption 112 Watts   @ 28 Vdc Life Cycles  60 Cycles Min.   Features:  Redundant Heater   Reusable   TC or RTD Sensor
		2 Note that the function times shown above are for the higher transition temperature "FC" series Frangibolt Actuators which actuate at roughly 100°C. TiNi Aerospace also manufactures a line of "FB" series Frangibolt actuators which have a lower +75°C actuation temperature and therefore have a ~25% faster function time. Selection between the two should be based on maximum operating temperature.
