TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0002 00 0002 00-3 Extraction Force Transfer Coupling.The extraction force transfer coupling consists of an actuator assembly (1), connector, latch assembly (2), latch assembly (3), link assembly coupling, EFTC (4), a link assembly adapter (5), and a cable assembly (6). The coupling transfers the pull force of a cargo extraction parachute from the extracted airdrop load to the cargo parachute deployment line. Immediately after the load departs the aircraft, the arm of the actuator assembly (1) is released and pulls upon the cable assembly (6). The pull on this cable, in turn, causes the latch assembly (3) to release the link assembly (4), transferring the pull force. The cable assembly (6) is constructed in 12-, 16-, 20-, 24-, and 28-foot (3.7-, 4.9-, 6.1-, 7.3-, 8.5-m) lengths. The link assembly adapter (5) connects an extraction line to the link assembly (4). It is equipped with a larger spacer (7) and a small spacer (8) that distribute the extraction force applied to the link assembly by providing a two or three loop separation when a five and six-loop extraction line is used. The connector, latch assembly (2) connects the latch assembly (3) to the extraction bracket mounted on the platform. 7 8 5 46 1 2 3
