Cable release mechanisms

Hold down and release actuators

Eaton's non-explosive actuator solutions include G&H Technology cable-release mechanisms. These low-shock devices can be configured with single or multiple release points and provide rapid releases with low power consumption.

Overview Design

Core features

Safe handling and deployment; non-explosive actuators do not require the explosive materials precautions associated with pyrotechnic actuators.
Fragment and debris-free operation.
Form, fit, and function replacements for pyrotechnic actuators can be quickly developed.

Specifications

Field refurbishment accelerates system-level testing

Cable releases utilize split-spool initiators as hold down preloading assemblies and cables as hold down release actuators.
Multiple-test sequences can be performed by field replacement of the initiators which typically costs less than 20% of the expense of replacing one shot, pyrotechnic devices.
Field-resetable mechanical initiators (right end of depicted solution) replace one of the electrical initiators to enable multiple test releases without the need for refurbishments.
