ABSTRACT:
A high-load capability non-explosive cable release mechanism for retaining the adjacent ends of two cables and releasing them upon receiving a signal from a remote source. The cable release mechanism has a casing for housing two non-explosive actuators (NEAs), which also has a center bore for housing a jaw and ramp assembly. Each NEA is connected to the jaw and ramp assembly for independently operating the jaw and ramp assembly to retain or release the proximal ends of the two cables. Upon receiving the signal by any one or both of the NEAs, the jaw and ramp assembly will release the adjacent ends of the two cables from the casing.
