Space Mechanisms

A Complete Ecosystem of Non-Pyrotechnic Split-Spool Separation Nut Mechanisms plus Blind-Mate Interconnects for Deployment of Satellite Systems and Structures

Glenair's line of low-shock HDRM mechanisms includes both North American manufactured devices as well as an EU Series in accordance with ESA standards. Glenair offers a complete HDRM solution for satellite equipment deployment including pin pullers and mechanical release ground test units. Our line of blind-mate, dead-face, ASF, and fail-safe disconnects are the most extensive in the industry. Glenair's family of release and separation mechanisms is augmented with space-grade flexible grounding straps, ESD bonds, and corrosion-resistant space-grade wire.

• Low-shock / pyrotechnic-free for single-event release of deployable space systems—configurable electrical initiation with no (amperage) upper limit
• Blind-mate, adjustable separation, dead-face, and lanyard-release connectors
• High tensile strength shield termination system
• Low-resistance, high-conductivity, flexible ground / ESD bond straps
• Available 80μin silver-plated Red Plague-resistant circuit wire
