Explosive Bolts and Nuts
Controlled Separation in Critical Operations
What Are Explosive Bolts and Nuts?
What Are Explosive Bolts and Nuts?
Explosive bolts and nuts are engineered fasteners designed to provide both structural integrity and rapid, on-command separation of mechanical joints. More specifically, they are used to reliably release ordnance and other payloads from airframes and booster separation on rockets.
At Riverbend Energetics, explosive bolts and nuts are manufactured to support high-reliability actuation in aerospace and defense systems where controlled release is required without external access. Each device contains an integrated energetic charge that, when initiated, fractures the bolt or nut at predetermined failure points. This ensures a clean, safe separation without collateral damage to surrounding equipment.
