Visually, the recessed design of the buzzer aligns perfectly with EAO’s Series 51, 61, 71 and 84 products.

A turn for the better.

Mechanical turning for success. With our user-friendly potentiometers, you can continuously regulate different resistance values for machines – and over a rotation range of up to 300 degrees.

Advantages

• IP69K protection
• Long service life
• Easy mounting
• Rotational range of up to 300°
• Resistance from 1 k to 470 kΩ

With snap-action switching element.

Stop switches are different from emergency stop switches because they do not have to be foolproof. Thanks to their snap-action element, they are particularly suitable for use as on/off switches worldwide in mobile control units as well as in apparatus and mechanical engineering.

Advantages

• Reliable switching
• Extremely low back panel depth (18.8 mm)
• Large range of minimum and maximum switch ratings
• Optional illumination
• Wide range of lenses and lens colours
• Resistant to impact, shock and vibration
• Usable down to – 40 °C
• Very long service life for mechanical and electrical components
• Available with standards-compliant protective shroud

Modular and recognised worldwide.

For rapid assistance in emergency situations: intuitive emergency stop switches from EAO assure the reliable protection of people from injury and prevent damage to machines, systems or vehicles – even in harsh environments and tight installation conditions.

Advantages

• Mounting cut-out 16.2 mm
• IP65 front protection
• Screw or plug-in terminal
• Up to 2 contacts (switching element separate)

Compact, robust, reliable.

• 

Your intuitive safety control element for various applications: the UL-certified Series 61 emergency stop switch compact protects humans from injury and machines against damage.

EAO offers you the most important safety control element with unique compactness, robustness and reliability. The emergency stop switch is particularly well-suited for handheld control units.

Accessories 

Installation adapter

With the Series 61 installation adapter, the 16.2 mm diameter compact emergency stop switch is also suitable for standard mounting cut-outs with diameters of 22.3 mm (in accordance with DIN EN 60947-5-1). Thanks to the adapter, the device can be quickly and safely connected with the front plate and protected against rotation.

PCB adapter

So that you can combine the advantages of the Series 61 compact emergency stop switch with those of PCB installation. To this end, the PCB plug-in base creates a stable connection. The installation is minimised (26 mm) with this installation type, preventing wiring errors.
