CubeHDRM - Hold-Down and Release Mechanism for CubeSats

CubeHDRM is a miniature Hold-Down and Release Mechanism (HDRM) is designed to secure deployable components such as solar panels, antennas, or booms during launch and to release them upon command once in orbit.
 
A compact and lightweight form factor has been adopted to meet the constraints of CubeSats and other small satellite platforms. Release is accomplished through the controlled disengagement of a preloaded nut, allowing stored energy from hinge or deployment springs to actuate the mechanism.

Structural stability is maintained during launch, and reliable separation is ensured through precise mechanical actuation. The design is optimized for ease of integration, mechanical simplicity, and compatibility with standardized satellite interfaces.
