Eaton's non-explosive actuator solutions include G&H Technology miniaturized tension releases. These compact release mechanisms deliver a 250-pound (1.1 kilonewton) load rating while occupying less than one third of a cubic inch (five cm3).
Actuator bodies smaller than 1/3 cubic inch (5 cubic centimeters)
Miniaturized tension releases utilize split-spool initiators as hold down preloading assemblies and load shafts as hold down release actuators. After electrical initiation, load deployment is facilitated by internal release of the load-attachment shaft.
Miniaturized tension releases are available in standard load ratings up to 250 pounds (1.1 kilonewtons) and a separation stroke of 0.25 inches (6.3 mm). Customer-defined load ratings and separation-stroke lengths are also available.
Flight qualifications include night vision system detachment
Eaton's miniaturized tension releases have been qualified for use in critical applications such as separating night-vision goggles from a pilot’s helmet prior to emergency ejection. The technologies used in these ultra-compact devices can be leveraged to quickly develop custom hold down and release mechanisms for a broad range of applications:
