Latching Solenoid with Burst Pin
Designed for pneumatically actuated fire suppression systems that require a high-force actuator to penetrate a burst disc.
This solenoid holds the burst pin in the ready position without drawing any current. When a signal from the fire control panel releases the burst pin, a powerful spring forces the pin through the burst disc on the pressurized pilot vessel, releasing discharge gas into the pneumatic actuation line. Latching force, stroke, port size, and interface can be customized to match system requirements.

A Replacement for Pyrotechnic Actuators
TLX designed an electrically controlled actuator that used only a short pulse of current to release the burst pin.
TLX designs custom actuation for fire suppression systems, balancing certification, performance, and long-term reliability in every component, including:
Regulatory Compliance
Engineering expertise to help achieve UL, FM, CE, LPCB, & VdS certifications and listings, with compliance designed in from the first concept.
Complex Environments
Optimization of actuators and valves for applications requiring high pressure and high speed, from inert gas systems at 300 bar to hazardous locations.
Advanced Security
Fully engaged installation detected through integrated supervisory component as required. Designed to safeguard against tampering.
Increased Performance
Designed to handle various actuation force requirements across agent types and system pressures. Durable components can be reset after activation for future use.
Limiting Power Consumption
Latching technology utilized to minimize overall power consumption, holding the ready state for years on standby without drawing continuous current from the panel.
Custom Configuration
Interfacing options available to meet system dimensional differences. Optional manual actuation assembly and reset tool attachment.
