Quick release mechanism
Quick release mechanism
(OP)
Hello. Does anyone know of a company that manufactures quick release mechanisms that can be incorporated into other devices? It would need to be able to hold loads up to 10kN, before releasing them on a given signal. The mechanism will be required to operate every 40 seconds over an operating day of 5-6 hours so wear is probably going to be an issue. I have looked at using an electromagnet, but I was wondering if anyone makes a mechanical equivalent. Thanks!

KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?

Most of the mechanisms I've seen (slips, Capewells and three-ring-circuses, for instance) involve levers held in place by other levers, and need a fair amount of assembly after every release.

how big is this "thing" ?
is it something that drifts away, or falls away (under gravity (ie the clamp is also restraining the weight) ?
how are you "re-loading" it (in < 40sec) ?
RE: Quick release mechanism
But...as others have said...dunno how you would reload and release in 40 sec.

could IRRC cycle as fast as 60 seconds with a trained crew of 8-12 men; most of the delay was due to swabbing the barrel, and reloading shell and powder.
