3455RM 06210018

Temperature sensors arewidely used in industrial processes, environmental protection, healthcare, machinery, automotive and construction fields, for the purpose of monitoring and controlling temperature. 3455RM 06210018 is a temperature sensor that features robust construction, easy operation, high accuracy and is suitable for low- and medium-temperature detection applications.

Mechanical Overview of 3455RM 06210018

3455RM 06210018 is a hermetically sealed metallic device with a reverse-acting mechanism, consisting of a bimetallic element, pins and diaphragm. It is a high-accuracy temperature sensor, with accuracy of +/- 0.5°C ± 0.2°F over a wide range of temperatures. The temperature range is -55°C to 155°C (0-312°F). The signal output of the sensor is typically a nonelectrical DC signal in the form of a variable closure of a contact point.

Application Field

The 3455RM 06210018 temperature sensor can be used in a variety of applications, including:

• Industrial process regulation, particularly where temperature monitoring and control are important.
• Environmental protection and monitoring, for example in air conditioning and ventilation systems.
• In healthcare applications such as medical refrigerators and recorders.
• In machinery, for instance in industry equipment and process instrumentation.
• In automotive applications such as engine control.
• In construction, to monitor and control temperature in buildings.

Working Principle

The 3455RM 06210018 sensor is made up of a bimetallic element, which consists of two different metal sheets, each with its own thermal response to temperature changes. As the temperature rises, the two metals change at different rates – this difference in rates causes the metal elements to curve, creating a mechanical contactclosure, which is the output signal of the sensor. This contact closure is then either connected to other sensors for further signals and/or indicators, or used to control machinery, depending on the application.

Conclusion

The 3455RM 06210018 temperature sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications requiring temperature monitoring and control, and offers high accuracy and robust construction. The working principle of the sensor is based on the differential characteristics of the two metals combined in the bimetallic element, which cause the element to curve when the temperature of the environment changes.
