A de-linking assembly includes an actuator defining a chamber and an inlet, a piston slideably disposed within the chamber, link coupled to the actuator, and a ram disposed between the piston and the link. The link defines a stress concentration features and a load point on a side of the link on a side of the stress concentration feature opposite the actuator. The ram is seated to the piston and against the load point such that air introduced into the chamber through the inlet applies force to the piston and ram sufficient to sever the link by inducing stress in the stress concentration feature.
