I am looking for a miniature trigger to release a small compression or torsional spring that as about 1 lbf of force at full compression. The trigger should fit in a space about 3X3X3mm or less. I have briefly looked into nitinol wire, voice coils, watch mechanisms, and solenoids, but haven't found anything small enough.
I am interested in any information that may direct me toward existing products or classes of actuators/triggers that may be relevant. Thank you,
Kurt Sutherland
