Frangibolt^® Actuator
FC2-16-31SR2

The model FC2-16-31SR2 is the smallest Frangibolt actuator produced by TiNi Aerospace. It is designed to operate with any standard high strength #8 size bolt or studš. The small envelope and minimal power consumption (25 Watts @ 28 Vdc) make's it ideal for applications with stringent size and power requirements.

The model FC2-16-31SR2 is also the fastest Frangibolt actuator capable of operating in less than 10 seconds. As with all other Frangibolt Actuators, the FC2-16-31SR2 is designed to have a high fatigue life and is easily reset using TiNi's portable compression tool FBT-CT2.

^š TiNi Aerospace must provide the specially notched Titanium fastener. This is largely application-dependent and is readily manufactured to customer specification.

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.
