EAO - The first choice for emergency stop switches

The world’s most comprehensive range of emergency-stop and stop switches is available from EAO – the Expert Partner for Human Machine Interfaces. EAO supplies an outstanding choice of foolproof twist-to-release emergency-stops*, foolproof stop switches, and simple stop switches in the industry-standard 16 and 22.5mm cut-out sizes. They provide immediate shutdown in critical situations through safe/positive break contacts, plus a long service life in excess of 250,000 uses. There’s a choice of either single-piece monoblock products with built-in switch elements or those with separate actuators and elements to facilitate different production techniques. The standard connections are plug-in or solder, screw, ribbon cable or PCB terminals depending on the product range. Popular for rugged, heavy duty applications are the Series 04 and 44 emergency-stops for mounting in a 22.5mm cut-out. There are options for twist-to-release or key-to-release actuators as well as mushroom-headed stop switches. The 16mm Series 61 range is ideal for a smaller mounting footprint, and the LED illuminated Series 84 with its short behind-panel depth is perfect for handheld equipment. Every device is oil and watertight to a minimum IP65. Accessories including special enclosures, switch guards, palm guards, custom labelling and many others are also available to complete virtually any type of switch. This extensive choice will accommodate a broad range of electrical and mechanical specifications for virtually any use including factory and automation, food processing, medical, lifting and moving, and public transportation. Designers should be any aware of international standards and regulations that impact the design and use of emergency-stops. EAO's products are RoHS and REACH compliant, meet UL requirements, Electrosuisse (a Swiss designation), DIN EN and CE (European Union) approvals. To help select the most appropriate switch, EAO has published two very useful guides at the following address: www.eao.com/catalogues A White Paper, 'What Designers Need to Know About Emergency-Stop Switches' can be downloaded along with a special Emergency-stops Catalogue. * in compliance with ISO 13850, EN IEC 60947-5-1, and EN IEC 60947-5-5.
