and thrusters
PROPERTIES:
DESCRIPTION:
NEA® Electronics, Inc. (NEA) designs a variety of Non-Explosive Separation Nuts/Release
Mechanisms for a wide range of requirements, allowing customers to select specific nut
size, redundancy and materials without affecting firing characteristics. Our products can
support a static load of up to 100,000 pounds (approx. 45,000 kgs).
NEA’s Non-Explosive Separation Nuts/Release Mechanisms are electromechanical and
based upon patented split-spool and fuse wire technologies. The principle of operation
involves a tensile load reacting against a wire-wound split-spool.
Upon electrical command, a fuse wire breaks in tension and
the restraining wire unwinds, allowing
the spools to separate and release the load.
Structurally robust, NEA’s Non-Explosive Separation
Nuts/Release Mechanisms quickly and reliably
release stored strain energy.

• Extremely low release shock (<500G’s)
• Redundant or non-redundant actuation circuit
• Near simultaneous release of multiple hold-down
points (<10ms)
• Factory refurbishment
• Internal torque containment
• Allows angular misalignment of hold down bolt or rod (6°)
• Extended operating temperature range
• Operates using pyrotechnic initiation circuitry
as a drop-in replacement
• Range safety-friendly
• Space-rated materials
