EAO Ltd

EAO has introduced two new stepper motor drive families with the ability to deliver the higher torque factors necessary to make motion smoother and more precise and slash equipment positioning cycle times.

To help control panel designers and builders to quickly select the optimum devices for their application Emergency Stop (E-Stop) switch specialist EAO has developed an interactive virtual 3D tool.

A new family of stepper motors have been introduced by EAO that deliver 10% higher torque than currently available alternatives but produce 3dB(A) less noise with significantly reduced vibration and heat generation. Improvements in motor efficiency has enabled manufacturer Sanyo Denki to boost the torque of its new Sanmotion SF24 Series of 42mm stepper motors by 10% compared to current equivalent sized alternatives but with 15% lower inertia.

A new series of small, low voltage blower fans have been introduced by EAO that deliver a static pressure of 1950P (max.) and an airflow of 111m3 /hour (max.) at a rated speed of 8200rpm. Developed by Sanyo Denki, San Ace 9BMC blower fans measure just 97x33mm but delivers the cooling performance and low noise requirements demanded by high-density equipment such as Servers, PSUs, fuel cells and air-con units.

  A new series of stepper motors with built-on optical encoders has been introduced by EAO which aim to simplify and streamline the design of closed loop motion control systems typically found in equipment such as 3D printers and medical instrumentation.

Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), specialist EAO has enhanced its popular Series 45 range of modular panel products with the addition of intuitive palm switches and all-purpose acoustic buzzers. The new Series 45 palm switches unite a broad range of machine operating functions with outstanding technical characteristics.

A new series of modular emergency stop switches have been designed by Human Machine Interface (HMI) specialist EAO, especially suited for handheld control units. Designed to reliably protect people from injury and equipment from damage the new 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.
