MAIN TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Fuze PDM557

  1. Fuze PDM557 is designed for ammunition from 75mm to 155mm guns and 75mm to 8-inch howitzers and mortars.
  2. It consists of an M48A3 fuze assembled with an M125A1 booster.
  3. Upon firing, centrifugal force arms the fuze rotor and delay plunger.
  4. On impact, the firing pin initiates the M24 detonator, which flashes through to the M17 detonator and explosive train, detonating the projectile.
  5. The fuze can provide either super-quick or 0.05-second delay functioning depending on the setting.

Technical Details

  • Mass : 950 g
  • Length (Overall) : 151mm
  • Length (Visible) : 96.4mm
  • Thread : 25.4mm
  • Operating Temperature : -62 deg C to +71 deg C

FUZE 162 MK8 (M-2)

On firing, set-back force pushes the detent, allowing the steel ball to roll down, which releases the striker to push forward. The shutter moves out of its safe position and the detonator housed in the shutter is brought in an armed position. On direct impact at target, the striker hits the detonators, setting out the ignition train.

Technical Details

  • Usage : 81mm smooth bomb Mortar HE ammunition
  • Metal : Mainly Brass
  • Weight : 505 g
  • Number of components : 16
  • Dimensions : 38 × 91mm

FUZE 213 MK5 (M-3)

On firing, the set back force releases the plunger, which in turn allows the hand to move. At a pre-set time, the hand drops into the cavity of the dome which releases the striker to initiate the ignition train. This fuze also functions in Percussion mode on nose hit at the terminal end. The setting for its functioning is made up to 80 seconds with steps of 0.5 seconds.

Technical Details

  • Characteristics : Nose fuze, functioning on Time and Percussion mode
  • Metal : Aluminium Body houses the clockwork mechanism – mainly made of brass components
  • Weight : 615g
  • Number of components : 84
  • Dimensions : 60 × 117mm
