Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical

The 3100U 00031460 temperature sensor is a mechanical thermostat designed to detect and regulate temperatures in many applications. This device comes with several features, such as a thermally calibrated bimetal sensing element, a low thermal mass head mounting apparatus, and a built-in temperature indicator. It is able to provide a user with feedback on the temperature of their environment based on the changes it detects.

The 3100U 00031460 is a very simple device. It contains a single temperature-sensitive spring mounted inside the unit. When the surrounding temperature changes, the spring also changes shape and moves the internal switch. This switch is connected to a built-in temperature indicator so the user can instantly read the current temperature without any additional equipment.

This sensor is ideal for many different types of applications. It has been used in industrial settings, such as manufacturing and laboratory processes, to help ensure consistent temperatures and prevent dangerous over-heating. It is also ideal for regulating temperatures in residence, such as a home or office, to maintain an optimal environment for humans and electronic equipment.

The 3100U 00031460 is able to maintain a relatively accurate reading of the surrounding temperature because of its thermally calibrated bimetal sensing element. Bimetals are metals composed of two different materials joined together. When subjected to heat, they expand at different rates, causing them to bend in relation to each other. The metals used in the 3100U 00031460 are chosen specifically to create a reliably uniform response to temperature fluctuations.

The low thermal mass head mounting also helps ensure accuracy. The head acts as a shield for the sensing element from direct contact with the environmental heat. This keeps the sensing element away from the heat source and eliminates interference from air currents that can disrupt accuracy. The low thermal mass head also helps reduce the likelihood of burn out in case of extended exposure.

The 3100U 00031460 is an extremely user-friendly device. It comes with a simple spindle that makes calibration very easy. The user simply turns the spindle to adjust the sensitivity of the switch triggering mechanism, allowing the user to set the ideal temperature for their application.

Overall, the 3100U 00031460 is a useful device designed for many different types of applications. Its thermally calibrated bimetal sensing element and low thermal mass head provide accurate temperature readings while its spindle allows for easy calibration. Its versatility has made it a popular choice for many different settings.
