Breakaway couplings

Product range
Secure your fluid lines
Breakaway couplings are safety components used to prevent one of the most serious safety hazards in the process of loading
fluid media: the unwanted and disproportionate tensile load on the load line. It happens, for example, when tanker trucks or
rail tank wagons move off too soon or by ships drifting. Such tensile loads can mechanically damage or even destroy both
the connection points and the load line itself. It can even lead to uncontrolled leakage of the media being loaded, posing a
corresponding hazard to humans and the environment.

Stäubli safety breakaway couplings are Application areas:

Breakaway couplings 9
ABH series
The safety breakaway coupling with a high flow rate

The ABH series breakaway coupling is a consistent further development of the Stäubli breakaway coupling programme.
Along with the same safe triggering as seen in the ABS series, this series minimises the pressure loss within the coupling or
allows an approx. 4 times higher flow rate at a constant pressure loss. This saves energy and time during the loading process.

Your advantages
■■ Highest flow rates.
■■ Significant reduction of the
pressure loss.
■■ Releases when force is applied
axial or up to 90° (any direction)
to the plane of the coupling.

Breakaway couplings 13
ACS series
The standard safety breakaway coupling with control cable

Breaking pins require the breakaway forces to be transferred by the hose. This may lead to difficulties at higher nominal widths,
variating pressures and/or fragile hoses. With ACS breakaway couplings the force for release will be transfered via a cable but
not the hose line. They have a lower threshold why even low forces are sufficient to release the ACS.

Your advantages
■■ Compact design.
■■ Releases when force is applied
axial or up to 90° (any direction)

Breakaway couplings 21
MBS series
The standard safety breakaway coupling
for marine applications
The MBS series has been specially developed for applications between two hose lines typically found in maritime environment.
The innovative design is characterised by its high resistance to lateral forces that can affect the coupling, causing it to release
unintentionally.

Your advantages
■■ High stability when lateral forces
act on the coupling.
■■ Controlled separation through
breaking pins.
■■ Secure separation when subjec-
ted to an axial tensile load.
■■ Suitable for reeling with hose on
drums.
■■ Releases only when force is
applied axial to the coupling.

MBH series
The marine safety breakaway coupling
with a high flow rate
The MBH series provides the same benefits as the MBS but allows an approx. 4 times higher flow rate.

Your advantages
■■ High stability when lateral forces
act on the coupling.
■■ Highest flow rates.
■■ Significant reduction of the
pressure loss.
■■ Releases only when force is
applied axial to the coupling.
