Abstract: A pyrotechnic short-circuiter has a body including a first chamber in communication with a pyrotechnic initiator; a second chamber having present therein a support in the form of a slide having present thereon two conductive parts, the support defining a housing, each conductive part having a deformable end portion, and a piston having a fitted conductive element, the pyrotechnic initiator being configured to cause the piston to pass from a first position in which the conductive element is disengaged from the end portions to a second position in which the conductive element is inserted in the housing and is in contact with each deformable end portion, the deformable end portions, in the second position, being deformed and exerting a holding force serving to block the conductive element in position in the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator comprising a cylinder (1) in which a rod (2) is mounted to slide, the actuator having a screw (8) extending inside the rod to co-operate with a nut (7) secured to the rod, the screw being driven in rotation by a motor (10), the actuator being characterized in that a hydraulic chamber (CH) filled with hydraulic fluid is arranged inside the actuator by means of a floating piston (20) sliding in sealed manner against the rod inside of the actuator, the hydraulic chamber being in fluid flow communication with an accumulator (21) via a solenoid valve (22) that is controllable between a closed state in which the chamber is isolated from the accumulator, and a fluid-passing state in which the hydraulic chamber and the accumulator are in communication, calibrated resistance being exerted against the passage of fluid from the chamber towards the accumulator.
