Abstract
A separable threaded fastener tightened to hold two objects together with an axial preload on the fastener. Fastener structure minimizes mechanical shock loads on contiguous structures when elements of the fastener are abruptly separated from one another to release the objects. A stator and a rotor having ramp surfaces provide for relief of the axial preload at the time of separation thereby reducing mechanical shock on contiguous structures.
