Latch Revision-A
Key Points:
1. This design
is complex, and has many modes of failure.
2. Tapered profile tipsand matching bres reduce risk
of binding under applied loads.
3. Uses 3 sets of ramps and followers to convert rotational
motion into linear motion.
4. Requires only one rotary or linear actuator.
(Model of rotary latch: Left: power-on mode, disengaged Right:
power-off mode, engaged)
