Pinpuller Model P10-405-5RS

The P10-405-5RS is a custom Pinpuller configuration designed for the Space Sciences Laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley.  It will be used on NASA’s “STEREO” project where its function is to deploy the “WAVES” instrument which is comprised of 3 stacer antennae.  As shown, it has a specially designed Roller at the tip of the Pin which helps to maximize side load capability by allowing the deployable to Roll rather than Slide off the Pin.
