PRESS RELEASE UARX presents SAURON 8" separation ring Nigran,SpainNovember 14, 2023

Showcasing separation ring SAURON 8" UARX's brand new development!

SAU&RON 8" is a reliable and efficient separation adapter for small satellites. Specially designed for those requiring a standard and dependable interface to a launch vehicle or kick stage beyond the 12U CubeSat form factor, SAU&RON 8" utilizes compression springs that can be easily configured to exert the desired separation velocity to the payload.

Weighing in less than 2,000 grams, SAU&RON 8" boasts two redundant actuators that can be commanded independently, providing low to non-shock to the payload during separation. The standard version includes two space-graded motors from Maxon, ensuring optimal performance for every mission. Customers can choose to use non-explosive HDRM from Glenair or even redundant explosive bolts for added flexibility.

Upon reception of the separation signal from the launch vehicle or kick-stage, SAU&RON 8" simultaneously releases all clamping mechanisms, allowing the separation springs to actuate, deploying the payload into orbit. With a Maximum Axial Line Load per bolt of 6940N and a maximum Shear Load per bolt of 1900N, SAU&RON 8" offers unparalleled stability and reliability for every mission
