A clamping and releasing mechanism is disclosed. In the exemplary embodiment the mechanism comprises a housing accommodating a telescopic piston-pin, the rearward end of which is mechanically locked. Pressure sensors located at the forward portion of the housing indicate the actual pressure applied to the piston pin. In the event a predetermined pressure is exceeded, a circuit produces an electric signal which actuates the mechanical lock to release the object being clamped. |
