What is an airbag inflator?
1 Answers
An airbag inflator is a device located inside the airbag. Airbags are equipped with inflators of different specifications. During a vehicle collision, the inflator fills the airbag with gas, causing it to deploy and protect the passengers. Below is relevant information: 1. SRS Airbag: The electronic airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. 2. Overview: It is an auxiliary protective device in the airbag system, made of special nylon fabric with a rubber lining and filled with harmless helium gas during operation. During a collision, it takes about 0.03 seconds for the airbag to inflate. This extremely rapid inflation ensures that the airbag is in place in time when the passenger's body is restrained by the seat belt while the head continues to move forward.
