Explosive actuators encompass single-use pyrotechnic devices that convert controlled chemical energy release into mechanical work, covering squib-initiated systems, pin pullers, cutters, separation nuts, and thrusters that employ pyrotechnic initiators, deflagrating propellant charges, and pyromechanical interfaces to achieve high-force, high-speed actuation for functions such as stage separation, canopy jettison, and emergency release.
