About
The Release Device (electromechanical, shock-free) Type 1 serves the crucial purpose of holding the mechanical device hold-down lock in the cocked position. This ensures that components are securely fastened during critical phases such as launch and are released precisely when needed, without imparting unwanted shocks. The device was released in 2015 and boasts a guaranteed service life of 8 years, with an estimated production and delivery time of 4 months. It underwent flight qualification in 2019, indicating its readiness and reliability for space applications. Key specifications include a rod load capacity of 6 kg, an actuating current of 3-8 A applied during 1 second, and a wide operating temperature range from -100 to +100 °С. It is designed for an operational life of not less than 75 technological actuations. The compact dimensions of 41×41.5×41 mm and a low mass of 0.08 kg make it suitable for integration into various space mechanisms. This device is a component of the hold-down system locks for mechanical devices.
