The distance which the piston moves in case of an
activation is approx. 5 mm.
The release unit (cutter) is a unique design specif-
ically developed for CYPRES. Features include
a completely self-contained enclosure to avoid
expelling anything during activation.
During an 18 month long investigation by BAM
(Bundesanstalt für Materialprüfung), Berlin, 99
release units were tested. The result is that BAM
and the U.S. DOT have classied the CYPRES as
being non-hazardous.
Due to its high reliability and other properties, the
CYPRES release unit is currently being used in
aerospace applications (satellites).
• The system is unobtrusive and can be installed
so that it is undetectable from the outside.
