New Series 71 Snap-Action Switches from EAO
Switch manufacturer, EAO Ltd has inttroduced the latest in easy-installation pushbutton technology with its new range of Series 71 snap-action switches.
The hollow shaft 63T, which accommodates shaft diameters from 6mm (.250") up to 10mm (.375"), has an extremely low profile of 22.1mm (.870") while the miniature 63Q has a diameter of only 20mm (.787").
Typical applications for the 63Q and 63T, which feature high noise immunity, would be in machine tool control, material handling systems, steer by wire and in other situations where high performance, high resolution digital feedback in a very small package is required.
Both the 63Q and the 63T are sealed within conductive fibre housings that provide the equivalent shielding of an all-metal housing.
They are therefore ideally suited for the automotive, factory automation and industrial control markets.
The 63Q and the 63T can be customised to meet a wide range of customer requirements.
Therefore, by specifying the desired terminations, resolutions, mounting configurations and shaft coupling and configurations, the customer can obtain a fully bespoke solution. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
