Washers
The Washers used in the Frangibolt assembly are an important part of the mechanism. They serve the following critical functions:
  • They distribute the relatively high recovery stress generated by the Nitinol cylinder during actuation, on a much larger contact area.
  • They have minimum thickness so as to minimize the overall length of the joint.
  • They have chamfers specially designed to match fillet radiuses of NAS bolts (at the location where the bolt head meets the bolt shank).
  • They have tighter fitting inner diameters designed to clear NAS bolt shanks while at the same time maximizing coverage of the Nitinol cylinder.


Note: All values are approximate and for reference only. Detailed ICD (Internal Control Drawing) should be used for design purposes. These may be requested by email through our contact page or at info@tiniaerospace.com
