Bimetal Thermostat AutoTune TERMOSTAT BIMETAL 180°C – 180°C temperature switch for engine and heating control

Bimetal Thermostat AutoTune TERMOSTAT BIMETAL 1806C is a mechanical temperature switch that activates at a fixed 1806C. The device uses a bimetal element that bends with rising temperature to open or close electrical contacts, providing a simple, reliable method for monitoring and interrupting current when a defined temperature threshold is reached. Because it requires no electronics, the thermostat is suitable for applications where a robust, conventional thermal cutoff or control is needed.

Advantages

The bimetal design offers straightforward operation without the need for power to sense temperature, resulting in high reliability and long service life in harsh conditions. The fixed activation temperature of 1806C ensures predictable switching behavior for thermal protection. Its mechanical construction makes it insensitive to electromagnetic interference and tolerant of voltage variations, while the compact form factor allows installation in confined spaces where electronic controllers may be impractical.

Suitable for

• Engine overheating protection and emergency cut-off systems
• Cooling system control in vehicles and stationary engines
• Safety cut-off in heating appliances and industrial heaters
• Temperature monitoring in workshops, compressors, and generators

Key specifications

• Activation temperature: 1806C (fixed)
• Operating principle: bimetallic temperature-actuated switch
• Contact function: opens or closes based on temperature-induced bending of the bimetal element
• Construction: mechanical, no electronic sensing components
• Typical mounting: panel or chassis mounting in proximity to monitored component (model-dependent)

How to use

Install the thermostat so that the bimetal sensing element is positioned close to the component whose temperature is to be monitored. Ensure secure electrical connections to the switch contacts and follow applicable wiring and safety standards for the system. The thermostat will actuate automatically when the local temperature near the sensing element reaches 1806C; after cooling below the reset temperature the bimetal will return and restore the original contact state. No electronic calibration is required.

Usage recommendations

Use the AutoTune bimetal thermostat as a hardware-level thermal safeguard where a fixed 1806C cutoff is required. Confirm mechanical compatibility and contact ratings match the application, and place the sensor in good thermal contact with the monitored part for accurate response. Avoid exposing the device to continuous temperatures above its rated limits and protect connections from corrosion and mechanical vibration for reliable long-term performance.
