About
The Mechanical Device Hold-down Lock is a component of a hold-down system, specifically designed to hold a mechanical device in its stowed position. It was released in 2016 and boasts a guaranteed service life of 6 years. The product is flight qualified and offers the possibility to be adapted to customer requirements, indicating its versatility for various space missions. It is capable of providing a clamping force of up to 1000 kg and can withstand ultimate side loads of 500 kg at the interface surface with the deployable element. The device operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -100°C to +100°C and has an operational life defined by at least 50 actuations. Its compact design is reflected in its low mass of 0.455 kg, and it requires an actuating current of 3 to 8 A applied for 1 second.
