Thermostat switches catering to various set point ranges are available in the market today. These models use a number of different technologies to attain the contact movement, and shock and vibration immunity. Top quality switches are made using high quality materials ensuring sturdy construction, durability and low maintenance.

Thermal switches including thermostat switches and freeze switches are ideal for industrial applications that require electromechanical control and safety provisions. Thermal switches can be grouped by their set point ranges, usually 0F-350F, 0F-650F and 0-1750F. View options include surface mount, flange mount with probe, thread mount, hermetically sealed, clamp mount, solder terminals, glass-sealed connectors, ground-to-case, integral wire leads, dual setpoint, etc.

Models catering to various set point ranges use different technologies. In the low range equipment the contact movement in the switch is attained using bimetallic snap disc. It offers shock and vibration immunity and a broader differential.

In the medium range switches, different expansion rates of two metals fused ...
... together attain the contact movement. The mechanism provides close tolerance temperature sensing, with a small differential. As for the higher range switches, contact movement is achieved using the difference in coefficients of expansion in the two materials. These kinds of switches have very quick response time.

If the kind of switch that you require does not exist, you can collaborate with a manufacturer that designs, prototypes, tests and manufactures custom products. A reliable supplier will apply state-of-the-art technology at every stage of the development process. They will incorporate In-house fabrication that will ensure their products are properly tested and are cost-efficient.

A few examples of custom switches and sensors are special form factor limit switches, ultra high temperature switches, rugged linear position sensors, custom switch panels for harsh environments, integral wire harnesses and long range position sensors. A dependable manufacturer will be able to deliver quality products that have sturdy construction, durability and low maintenance costs. The products are made using high quality materials using the latest technology.

Reputable manufacturers are able to manufacturer switches and sensors to fit specific design specifications set by clients. This equipment can then be used to measure temperatures across industries. These manufacturers will offer a variety of pressure, temperature and thermostat switches used for compressor loading and unloading. Available in various makes and models, these products are suitable for refrigeration, air conditioning and industrial instrument control. Certain products even have corrosion resistance and increased durability standards.

All switches and sensors go through a quality analysis at every stage to ensure that the product meets industry standards. Experienced manufacturers will know the specific requirements in various industry verticals and be able to produce switches that match the clients’ requirements to perfection.

Whether it is basic or high demanding applications, quality equipment can be trusted for accuracy and durability. Thermostat switches can be used for applications such as construction, hydraulic systems, marine, boilers, wind power, etc.

There are switches designed specifically for certain industry applications. For instance, some sensors and switches are developed for marine and hydraulic applications, some designed for gaseous and liquid media, while some are made for apps where shock and vibration is a concern.

These manufacturers will be willing to produce switches that match the clients’ needs while keeping their budget in mind. These components can be seamlessly integrated with the existing system already being used. Procuring such equipment, you can be sure of excellent performance.
