Profile: Stored Energy Concepts, Inc design and develop electrically-initiated devices that use the energy stored in pyrotechnic mixtures. Our devices can be designed to specification for the desired output and the input that system can deliver for initiation. Our piston actuator is electrically initiated and pyrotechnically powered to create, in milliseconds, linear action to move and retain a load or puncture a diaphragm to release a gas or a liquid under pressure, or simply indicate that another event has taken place. Retractable actuator is electrically initiated and pyrotechnically powered to produce linear motion, retracting a piston into the housing when triggered.
