Safety breakaway couplings for vehicle refueling applications

Specifically designed for vehicle refueling stations, Stäubli’s breakaway couplings for CNG and hydrogen (H₂) applications are typically installed between hoses or between the hose and the dispenser. They are engineered to withstand lateral forces while ensuring reliable performance in demanding refueling environments.

In the event of accidental drive-off or excessive tensile load, the breakaway system automatically activates, allowing controlled separation and immediate shut-off of the gas flow. This mechanism prevents gas leakage, protects the refueling infrastructure, and significantly enhances user and operator safety.
