A range of optical encoders from Grayhill are available at EAO. The three devices in the 62xG range of optical encoders use a patented optical switching technology that delivers a 2-bit digital quadrature output and are capable of over 1 million switching cycles, which together with a rugged enclosed metal body and a metal shaft ensures that the new optical encoders provide a more durable and more cost effective alternative to conventional mechan...

Designed to halve the numberoffans required in applications where air flow both in and out of the enclosure is required, EAO has introduced a range of bi-directional fans that provide the same high airflow performance in both directions. Adding to the Sanyo Denki portfolio of DC axial fans the new RF Series comprises two models.

A family of DC centrifugal fans that in typical high performance cooling applications consume 13% less power than competitive products is currently available at EAO. The fans offer significantly reduced acoustic noise levels. Manufactured by Sanyo Denki, the San Ace C175 9TGA DC centrifugal cooling fans measure just 175mm x 69mm.

A series of modular emergency stop switches especially suited for handheld control units has been launched by EAO. Designed to reliably protect people from injury and equipment from damage the Series 61 emergency stop switches are also suitable for mounting in remote panels within easy reach of the operator or directly onto a machine itself.

Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), specialist EAO, has enhanced its popular Series 45 range of panel products with the addition of selector switches that set a new benchmark for functionality, reliability, robustness, durability and aesthetic design. These new selector switches combine distinctive haptics (tactile sensation and control) for intuitive HMI control with a wide range of high-specification functions for demanding machine operation. &nb...

EAO has improved the Series 82 pushbutton range with a set of design upgrades to give it the edge over other metal pushbuttons. Series 82 has been re-engineered from the inside out for extra strength, versatility and style: tough enough to resist aggressive use and yet elegant to fit today’s stylish, ergonomic environments.

Designed with new-generation public transport vehicles in mind, this product can be mounted direct to glass, faster and with fewer holes. The unit connects on each side of the glass through a single, central hole with fewer fixing screws. The module is built to meet EAO’s very high standards of quality, reliability and durability. Sealed to IP69K from the front, this product is shock-resistant, vandal-resistant and flame retardant. It can be m...

A range of new options for Series 71 PCB-mount switches has been introduced by EAO. Coloured lenses with a choice of illuminated symbols including the popular on/off design plus ‘ring’ and ‘centre spot’ illumination are now offered as standard. These lenses are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic design of a control panel and improve the industrial ergonomics of the operating environment, whether it's for a luxury yacht, a medical i...

EAO is now offering a switch with multicoloured ‘halo’ illumination for creating highly flexible displays. The Series 84 PCB range of pushbuttons and indicators opens up new possibilities for illuminated control panels. A wide spectrum of different colours can be generated from a single switch by utilizing the possibility to combine up to 10 different coloured LEDs in one unit: eight around the lens and one bi-colour in the middle.
