Handbook covers design of ball-lock mechanisms for use on space vehicle umbilicals; in addition to general design of this locking mechanism and its components, effects of compolent surface conditioning, temperatures from ambient to -196 C, materials and material hardnesses, and forces on locking device up to 5000 lb are presented; handbook is limited to design of components of ball-lock that actually perform locking function and does not include pneumatic cylinder or mechanical system that supplies force for lock release.
