A quick coupler for mounting a rotational disk which enables the rotational disk to be quick connect to or disconnect from a pad conditioner disk holder is disclosed. The quick coupler consists of two major components of a disk holder and a travel housing. The disk holder is formed in a ring shape having a center aperture in a polygon shape for intimately engaging a polygon-shaped shaft of the travel housing such that a rotational torque can be transmitted from the travel housing to the disk holder. Each side of the polygon is provided with a steel ball and a recessed slot behind the ball for receiving a jutting key operated by a retractable ring attached to the travel housing. The travel housing is formed in a cylindrical shape that has a first end threaded for engaging a drive means and a second end in the polygon shape.
