Item 38945

Device for recording the distance-temperature curves of bimetal elements

• Acquisition of the distance-temperature curves of snap-action-discs
• Measurement of the snap behavior with or without out an applied load (simulated application condition)
• Monitoring the switching status of up to 2 contacts
• Temperature control using an oil bath (thermostat) or dry
• Adjustable temperature profiles (temperature curve over the time)
• Automatic calculation of the characteristic values
• Real-time recording and rapid data export (csv, xls, ..)
• Temperature measuring range in oil bath: -40°C to +200°C or dry: +50°C to +300°C
• Distance measuring range: up to 4mm
