Does anyone have experience with a similar type of mechanism?

I am trying to prove the concept of this design.

The intent is that the CW rotation of swivel cam will acts on the pivot balls, causing the jaws to open. CCW rotation will cause the jaws to close.

I am not as concerned with the extension spring and the pins, as I am with the forces acting on the jaws spheres.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.
