CONT

Le fixateur à cartouches est un appareil dans lequel une charge explosive fournit l'énergie permettant de faire pénétrer dans divers matériaux des clous de différents modèles et des goujons filetés extérieurement ou intérieurement. [...] Les fixateurs à cartouches [...] peuvent se classer en deux grandes catégories : 1) Les pistolets de scellement dans le canon desquels le projectile est accéléré à grande vitesse [...] 2) Les pistolets à masselotte dans lesquels une masse frappante transmet à la pièce l'énergie cinétique engendrée par l'explosion.
