General characteristics
Bimetal is a composite material, made of 2
layers, having different expansion coefficients.
A temperature variation makes a distortion,
due to the interaction of these 2 layers which
partially act in opposition.
Dimensions constraints
In snap action applications, the three dimensions (Length/width/thickness) must satisfy specific proportions: this is Delta Concept know-how.
Bimetal grades
There are about 30 different grades of thermo-bimetal: each of these grades has specific characteristics, as the deflection rate , the electrical resistivity, the thermal resistivity, the density, the elasticity, etc ...
Double function :
A Bimetal (or a bimetal sub-assembly)
is used both as thermo-sensor and as an actuator of a security or a regulation mechanism.
Cost saving and ecological :
The bimetal mechanism is often
designed simple and at low cost.
It is autonomous and it operates without
electrical energy.
Reliable and sustainable :
Our fabrication process guaranties
a reliable operation,
on millions of cycles.

In passive fire protection systems, fire dampers play a vital role in preventing the spread of flames and smoke through ventilation networks. The activation of these devices often relies on reliable, autonomous, power-free technology…
In brief! In industrial thermal systems, choosing between a bimetal sensor and a bimetal actuator is never trivial. Behind a shared technology - namely the differential expansion of two metals - lie two fundamentally…
In brief! Bimetal technology enables mechanical action based on temperature without any electrical power supply, by exploiting the physical properties of two metals with different thermal expansion coefficients. Used for decades in the electrical component…
