Easy-installation industrial switches offer choice
From a wide choice of easy-installation industrial switches with an extensive range of options, users can select from a wide range of many different lenses, actuators and switching elements.
Oil-proof fan prevents machine downtime
A range of oil-proof fans is designed specially for cooling machine tools and production machinery where a mist of lubricating oil is dispersed during operation.
Optical encoder has higher accuracy
A more accurate optical encoder with integrated pushbutton enhances accuracy by providing more data points to measure changes in shaft position.
With industry-standard mounting sizes, including an option for round 22.5mm cut-outs, these switches are ideal for retro-fitting existing control panels or for new designs in the machinery, process-control equipment and instrumentation industries Where behind-panel space is limited, EAO recommends the Series 71 range.
These switches feature detachable, snap-action contact blocks, which can be mounted direct to the PCB, thus reducing the risk of wiring errors and bad contacts.
And if servicing is necessary, the switches can be quickly snapped-off the contact blocks for ease of maintenance.
The Series 71 have a behind-panel depth of 44mm, and when combined with PCB mounting they offer major advantages where space is at a premium.
Installation is straightforward thanks to a unique twist-release locking mechanism, allowing easy assembly and disassembly without tools.
Where depth is not an issue, customers could choose from the comprehensive Series 61 range.
The standard snap-action switching elements feature gold-plated silver contacts with plug in or soldered terminals, and an appropriate adapter is available for PCB mounting, A wide range of different coloured lenses are available for both Series 61 and 71 pushbuttons, including red, yellow, orange, green, blue and white, with the option of either filament lamp or LED illumination.
All of them are protected to IP65 from the front and are designed to fit neatly into compact control panels. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
