QUICK RELEASE COUPLING

The dual-purpose sliding collar is fastened in the locking position by means of a pre-clamped spring. It can be axially shifted for coupling or uncoupling in both directions. The two halves of the plug-in coupling are locked together by means of detent balls. The sliding collar can be installed in a bulkhead partition with retaining rings. This means that the socket is given the function of a breakaway coupling. If a plug is torn from a fitting which is so mounted, then the system will be decoupled automatically and the valves will close so that damage to the hose line and a possible oil loss will be avoided. Thanks to their modular design, a large variety of connections conforming to international standards is available.
