Eaton's non-explosive actuator solutions include G&H Technology tension releases. These low-shock devices provide rapid releases with low power consumption.
Fragment & debris free releases
Tension releases utilize split-spool initiators as hold down preloading assemblies and threaded or clevis-pin load shafts as hold down release actuators. After electrical initiation, load deployment is facilitated by internal release of the load-attachment shaft.
Tension releases are available in standard load ratings up to 1300 pounds (5.8 kilonewtons) and a separation stroke of 1.1 inches (28 mm). Customer-defined load ratings and separation-stroke lengths are also available.
Heritage proven, custom-solution capabilities
Eaton's tension-release flight heritage includes exo-atmospheric military programs and space exploration programs that extend from low-earth orbits to landings on Mars.
The technologies used in these critical applications can be leveraged to accelerate the development of custom hold down and release mechanisms to support a wide range of mission requirements:
