Quick release couplings GN 1050 position and connect components without tools using studs GN 1050.1 for a tight and repeatable fit. For repeated machine set ups or assemblies that require the inconvenient use of a screwdriver, quick release couplings can be used on fixtures or production lines to efficiently mount guide rails, covers or additional devices.

A safety locking button protects against accidental opening of the coupling. When pressing the button, the sleeve can be moved axially to unlock a stud inserted into the notch on the inside. At the same time, a red ring becomes visible on the outside to indicate the unlocked state.

The couplings do not transmit any torque. If multiple couplings are used on the same unit, coding L can be used to compensate for a radial and axial offset. The bores d₄ can hold cylinder or cam point pins to position the coupling, if needed. For coding L, the pin holes on the application must be proportionally larger to allow for radial adjustments.

Flanges GN 1050.2 are available as an accessory for the assembly of couplings and studs, and provide additional attachment options.
