Detailed Study - Mortars Flashcards
How does the Fuze PD M935 (sq or DLY) operate?
- rotating slotted shaft is adjusted
- pull wire is removed
- on firing, acceleration moves setback pin rearward, freeing ball detent which frees spring loaded firing pin
- creep forward partially releases detonator slider
- second firing pin ignites the delay element for 2-6 seconds
- burning pin from slider is moved which arms the PD or delay.
- on impact, firing pin functions PD or DLY det, which functions the main fill
how does the Fuze M734 function on firing?
set back sensor experiences setback and releases first rotor lock (zigzag). when fully set back, the setback sensor locks in place.
How does M734 function during flight
- air ingested through venturies to power turbine generating electricity
- turbine also drives mechanical gear train which retracts second lock.
- predetermined amount of spins before arming, 100m min mechanical arming distance
- electronics monitor V and F and provide fuze with an electrical function delay
- On release of second rotar lock, rotor rotates 180 degrees into armed position
- the fuze is now armed
Prx, NSB IMP and DLY use what type of detonators?
PRX, NSB and IMP all use electric det
DLY uses only mechanical with no electric circuitry. serves as a back up to the electric fuzes
how does PD M751 function?
will always function on impact regardless of selected fuze setting. firing pin strikes ball which strikes primer which initiates pyro spotting charge
