Switch elements
On request, elctrical contacts or mechanical elements can also be welded onto the bimetallic discs on request. This would require the planning of a corresponding automatic welding machine.
Examples of use for bimetal-snap-action-discsClassic application of bimetall-snap-discs:
  • Temperature controller
  • Temperature limiter
  • Over temperature protection
  • Current sensitive circuit breaker

In addition to the classic applications, bimetal snap disks are increasingly being used in mechanical and electrical applications:
  • Heating technology: automated air bleed valves
  • Water supply in developing countries: optical display of water disinfection
  • Pharmaceutical industry: optical display for checking the cold chain
  • Automotive industry: temperature-dependent bypass valve in diesel filters
  • Automotive industry: resettable electric fuses
  • Automotive industry: overtemperature protection in the cooling circuit
  • Filter coffee machines: inlet valve for the preparation of boiling water
  • Gastronomy: safety drain valve for deep fat fryers
  • Steam iron: anti-drip valve
  • Hot water kettle: mechanical-electrical switch-off device
  • Washing machine: door lock with time delay
  • Cable drum: overheating protection while cable is on the spool
  • Refrigeration compressor: motor protection switch, current & temperature-sensitive
  • Miniature circuit breaker: trip device for overcurrent shutdown

Typical users of bimetal snap discs are:
  • Thermostat manufacturer
  • Household appliances and white goods industry
  • Motor and lighting manufacturers
  • Manufacturer of circuit breakers and motor protection switches (circuit breakers)
  • Automotive industry
  • Manufacturer of battery chargers
  • etc.
