Switches, Relays & Keypads
EAO has released the new Series 04 failsafe emergency stop switching element. The failsafe element is self-monitoring and will detect if the stop switch actuator becomes disconnected by accidental damage, negligent assembly or misuse. If there’s any defect, the failsafe contact opens and the machinery will behave as per a normal emergency shutdown routine.
It will fit any Series 04 emergency stop or stop switch and is easily retrofitted by snapping on the new element. Three types of connection are possible: push-in terminals (PIT) with cage clamps, or screw and plug-in terminals. The switch offers a long mechanical life of at least 50 000 operations.
