BIMETALLIC THERMOSTATS

Bimetallic thermostats are designed to monitor the temperature of fluids or surfaces and generate an electrical signal when a predefined temperature threshold is reached. Thanks to their simple design, robust construction and high reliability, they represent a proven solution for industrial, hydraulic, automotive and power generation applications where direct

Bimetallic thermostats are available in the following configurations:

Normally Open (N.O.) contact
Normally Closed (N.C.) contact
SPDT changeover contact

The operating principle is based on the deformation of a temperature-sensitive bimetallic element. When the preset switching temperature is reached, the element actuates the electrical contact, generating the signal required by the control system.

In the N.O. configuration, the contact closes when the switching temperature is reached; in the N.C. configuration, the contact opens when the same threshold is reached.

SPDT versions incorporate a microswitch that simultaneously switches the Normally Open (N.O.) and Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts, providing maximum flexibility for control, monitoring and signaling applications.
