Fuze B-37
for 37mm Anti-Aircraft Ammunition
B-37 is a mechanical, nose, point-detonating fuze with delayed action. The fuze features distance arming and self-destruciton.
Fuze B-37 completes 37 mm HET round for 37 mm anti-aircraft guns Mod 1937 and Mod 1939.
The fuze is safe in storage, handling and operation and ensures the safe and reliable function of the ammunition in all weather conditions.
FUZE SAFETY
Before firing the Safety and Arm device prevents the detonator from positioning into the fire train. Even in case of unintentional ignition of the primer, no transfer of the firing pulse to the fire train can occur.
DISTANT ARMING
The fuze is distant armed within 40 to 100 m from muzzle. At firing the set-back and rotational forces arm the fuze, fixing the elements of the fire train in one line.
FUZE ACTION
Upon impact the fuze provides delayed action within 0.002 to 0.004 s.
SELF DESTRUCTION
In case of no impact the round is self-destruct within 8 to 12 s
