Bimetal Thermostat Dora TERMOSTAT BIMETAL 160C – bimetal temperature switch 160°C

Bimetal Thermostat Dora TERMOSTAT BIMETAL 160C is a mechanical temperature switch that operates at a fixed setpoint of 160°C. The device uses a bimetal element to produce a rapid snap action that opens or closes an electrical circuit when the set temperature is reached. It is designed for thermal protection and temperature control in heating equipment, ovens, motors and other industrial appliances where a reliable, maintenance‑free temperature cutoff or regulation element is required.

Advantages

The bimetal construction provides repeatable switching at the rated setpoint without the need for external power or complex electronics. Its simple mechanical design offers high durability and resistance to electromagnetic interference. The snap action of the contact minimizes arcing and wear, ensuring consistent operation over many cycles. Compact dimensions and straightforward mounting make it easy to integrate into existing equipment for overtemperature protection or basic temperature control tasks.

Suitable for

• Thermal protection of heating elements and ovens
• Motor and appliance overtemperature cutoff
• Industrial equipment temperature safety switch
• Backup or fail‑safe temperature control in HVAC systems

Key specifications

• Switching principle: bimetal snap action
• Operating temperature (actuation): 160°C setpoint
• Contact type: single pole mechanical contact
• Typical application: thermal cutoff and temperature regulation
• Mounting: panel or chassis mounting compatible with compact installations
• Construction: mechanical, no electronic components for actuation

How to use

Install the bimetal thermostat in a location where it can accurately sense the temperature of the controlled component or environment, ensuring good thermal contact with the surface or air as required by the application. Connect the device in series with the load or control circuit so that when the bimetal element reaches 160°C the contact opens or closes according to the intended wiring. Verify correct operation through functional testing at ambient and elevated temperatures before placing the equipment into service. Follow applicable electrical safety procedures during installation and testing.

Usage recommendations

For dependable performance, avoid exposing the thermostat to corrosive atmospheres, continuous vibration beyond the device's mechanical tolerance, or temperatures significantly above its actuation point for prolonged periods. Use this bimetal thermostat as an overtemperature protection or simple control element; for precise temperature regulation or adjustable setpoints, consider electronic controllers or thermostats with adjustable settings.
