About
Dcubed’s Pin Puller product line provides highly resettable release actuators specifically engineered for shear-load applications in space. These devices are crucial for reliably deploying various components on satellites and spacecraft. The product line includes two main variants: the Micro Pin Puller uD3PP and the Nano Pin Puller nD3PP, catering to different size and load requirements. Both models boast a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 9, indicating flight heritage and proven performance in operational environments. The Micro Pin Puller uD3PP is a larger, more robust option, while the Nano Pin Puller nD3PP offers a compact and lightweight solution for smaller-scale deployments. These pin pullers are designed to provide a reliable trigger on-orbit, ensuring the successful release of mechanisms when needed.
