High-Reliability, Non-Explosive (split-spool) Separation Nuts and Electromechanical Release Mechanisms for Dependable Preload Stowage and Release of Deployable Satellites and Space Systems
Series 06 (North America)Series GSS (Europe)
Glenair HDRMs are optimized for foolproof near-simultaneous release reliability with built-in electrical redundancy. The planned release of deployable satellites and structures is activated by a pre-determined electrical current to a fuse-wire system which causes the wire to break under tension and allows a pre-loaded mechanical bolt to actuate. Glenair’s line of low-shock, redundant and non-redundant space mechanims includes both HDRM devices as well as a family of lightweight pin pullers. Customer-defined electrical initiation (with no amperage max limit), as well as custom housing, pin pusher designs, and mounting configurations are available. Consult factory for specific device TR level and qualification test reports.
