When it comes to rocket motor ignition and engine starting. we offer simultaneous specific thrust and burn solutions with our pyro igniters in addition to a seamless. cost-effective operation. We deliver numerous Pyrotechnic Igniter designs that actuate control systems. deploy and retract equipment. start turbine motors. ignite rocket motors and provide ground safety during vehicle launch.

All Pyrotechnic Igniters

Rocket Motor Igniter

Product Description

Rocket Motor Igniters are used to ignite solid rocket motors or liquid fueled rocket engines.

A rocket motor igniter provides the necessary heat source to ignite rocket engines. This solid rocket motor igniter utilizes an electrical input stimulus that ignites an Electro-Explosive Device (EED), which in turn ignites a propellant grain. The propellant grain is designed to sustain a controlled burn to emit the necessary heat and hot particles for sufficient time to reliably ignite a rocket motor. We can tailor the burn duration to meet performance specification requirements, or they can be customized to burn for a specified period of time, based on the application. We have manufactured millions of high power rocket motor igniters which have proven highly effective in a diverse set of applications.

Pyroflare Igniter

Product Description

A specialized initiator that produces high-temperature gas and particles for ignition of fuel for turbojet engines. The output can be customized to specific performance factors for turbojet engines. PacSci EMC has customized the pyroflare to specific missile and drone applications. Initiated with a 1 amp/1 watt electro-explosive device (EED) which can be initiated with standard battery power. With the addition of a PacSci EMC Start Cartridge, you have all the components for a tailored engine start system for your program.

At least +20 years of experience in the manufacturing of pyroflare igniters. 1000+ have been delivered for application in turbojet engine systems.

Hydrogen Burn Off Igniters

Product Description

Hydrogen Burn-Off Igniters (HBOI) utilize an electrical input stimulus that ignites an Electro-Explosive Device (EED) which in turn ignites a propellant grain. The propellant grain is designed to sustain a controlled burn for a specified amount of time (minimum of 22 seconds), As the propellant grain burns, it produces hot pyrotechnic particles which are propelled and exited through a nozzle in a cone pattern over a required distance (minimum of 15 feet). Propellant burn time duration and throw distance can be customized to meet specific customer application needs.

Another common version of this device is the Radially Outward Firing Igniter (ROFI). As the name implies, the ROFI spins sparks in an outward pattern to dispel the accumulation of hydrogen during launch.
