Push button.
In use for you worldwide.
EAO introduced the first illuminated push button more than 60 years ago, revolutionising control units in the process. This EAO innovation is still the international industry standard today.
This is what our push buttons can do.
Intuitive operation with a unique feel.
Universally usable actuators and indicators: EAO push buttons stand for reliability and unique haptics worldwide. They are typically in use in applications including mechanical engineering, control engineering, public and private passenger transport, lifting and conveying systems, heavy-duty and special vehicles, and the automotive industry.
