Reference addresses below + general dictionaries "coupling" + the following:

EN
(1) In order to take account of technical progress, it is now necessary to revise certain provisions concerning dimensions and masses, and in particular those of the mechanical couplings, in order to make the best possible use of ISO standards; and, in order to improve safety, the testing arrangements should be specified [..]

LT
(1) Siekiant atsižvelgti į technikos pažangą, būtina patikslinti kai kurias nuostatas dėl matmenų ir masės, ypač susijusias su mechaniniais sukabintuvais, kad būtų galima kuo labiau laikytis ISO standartų; siekiant sustiprinti saugą, [..] reikia pateikti visų įmanomų derinių išbandymo tvarką.

"Coupler" seems characteristic to N. American usage. http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/coupler.html
