Slotted nut type releasing device for microsatellite ejector

摘要

The locking member of the ejector body (1) is a tensioning pin (6) extending inside a shaft (20) provided below the ejector body. The tensioning pin bears a ring (9) forming an abutment against which the releasing piston (7) comes to bear when the pyrotechnical igniter (12, 13) is triggered. The impact of the pin is attenuated at the end of its travel through the shaft by a shock absorber (10) held on the base of the shaft.
