It is designed to operate with a NAS 3/8" size bolt or stud¹. 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 Time² (@ 23º C) Specifications Max Load Support & Release 22 kN (5000 lb-f) Max Joint Length 8.25 cm (3.25 in) Operational Voltage 22 to 36 Vdc Minimum Operating Temp. -65°C (-85°F) Maximum Operating Temp.² +80°C (176°F) Heater Resistance  7 Ω Mass 100 g (1.76 oz) Power Consumption  80 Watts  @ 28 Vdc Life Cycles  MIN 60 Cycles   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.
