Safety and security in milliseconds.
For mobility and stationary applications, low and high voltage.
Our pyrotechnic actuator technology and knowledge come from extensive development in automotive engineering. The application areas are however endless, reaching from vehicle occupant safety, to high voltage stationary applications. We offer both off-the-shelf products and tailor-made solutions to ensure your unique requirements are met. Contact us today to discuss how how we can meet your needs.
Product function and specifications
Autoliv's pyrotechnic actuators consist of a piston actuated by a pyrotechnic initiator applied to mechanical devices to provide movement that will unlatch, remove, push, pull, pierce or eject an object in milliseconds. They can be manufactured to different push/pull, stroke length and effort requirements.
Applications
Automotive - protecting vehicle occupants
Pyrotechnic actuators mobilize safety devices in situations that require a reaction in milliseconds. Our products are mounted in vehicles equipped with different types of pyrotechnically actuated devices protecting vehicle occupants by quickly releasing the steering column, unlocking doors, activating headrests, or pretense their seatbelts.
Stationary - tailor-made electrical safety solutions
Autoliv's pyrotechnic actuators protect electrical systems producing, storing and converting electricity. With our tailor-made solutions for high voltage breakers and bypass switches, we are committed to responding to your electrical safety requirements.
