Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical

The 310600030057 mechanical thermostat is a device that is used to measure and control temperatures in a variety of applications. It consists of a thermally sensitive element, which is usually a bi-metallic disc or a pressure-sensitive diaphragm, and a temperature sensing device, which can be a thermometer, thermistor, or a thermocouple. The thermally sensitive element responds to changes in temperature and activates a switch, which can then be used to control the operation of a heating or cooling device.

Application Field

The 310600030057 mechanical thermostat can be used in a range of applications, including air-conditioning, refrigeration, heating systems, and food processing. It is typically used to control the temperature of the air or liquid in a given area or system. It can also be used to regulate temperatures in industrial processes, such as welding or soldering.

Working Principle

The 310600030057 mechanical thermostat operates on the principle of thermal inertia. When the temperature reaches the set point, the bi-metallic disc or pressure-sensitive diaphragm deflects, activating the switch within the thermostat. This switch then turns on or off a heating or cooling device in order to maintain the desired temperature.

The thermostat can be adjusted for a wide range of temperatures, depending on the application. It is important that the set point of the thermostat is within the temperature range of the application it is used for. If the set point is outside of the range, then it can cause the device to malfunction.

The 310600030057 mechanical thermostat is a reliable and efficient way to monitor and control temperatures in a variety of applications. It is a durable device that is designed to be used in harsh environments and can withstand temperatures up to 400 °C.
