Bimetal thermometer with switch contacts

December 2019 Temperature Measurement

WIKA’s model TGS55 is a stainless steel bimetal thermometer which offers high reliability and long service life.

Wherever the process temperature has to be indicated on-site and, at the same time, circuits need to be switched, the bimetal thermometer with switch contacts finds its application. Switch contacts make or break circuits dependent upon the pointer position of the indicating measuring instrument. The switch contacts are adjustable over the full measuring range. The instrument pointer moves freely across the entire scale range, independent of the setting.

The set pointer can be adjusted via the window using a removable adjustment key (mounted on the terminal box). Switch contacts consisting of several contacts can also be set to a single set point. Contact actuation is made when the actual value pointer travels beyond and below the desired set point. Inductive and electronic contacts are available for switching.
