Q & A
Temperature Switches Q & A
A temperature switch monitors temperature and activates a mechanical electrical contact when a preset limit is reached, commonly used for alarms, shutdowns, or equipment protection.
A temperature switch provides an on/off output at a set temperature point, while a temperature transmitter provides a continuous signal for monitoring and control systems.
Yes. WIKA temperature switches are designed for demanding industrial conditions and perform reliably in environments with vibration, temperature extremes, and limited electrical infrastructure.
Selecting the right temperature switch depends on the temperature range, switching accuracy, sensing method, installation location, and electrical requirements. Valin specialists can help ensure proper selection.
