Emergency-stops (E-Stops) by EAO Switch Corp, Milford, CT, accommodate a range of electrical and mechanical specifications for use in medical applications. They provide immediate shutdown in critical situations through safe/positive break contacts. The company supplies a range of foolproof twist-to-release E-Stops and simple stop switches in the industry-standard 16 and 22.5mm cut-out sizes. There are options for twist-to-release or key-to-release actuators as well as mushroom-headed stop switches. The 16mm Series 61 range is for a smaller mounting footprint, and the LED illuminated Series 84 is for handheld equipment due to its uniquely small behind-panel depth.
