bimetallic element

A bimetallic strip is used to compensate for this in some mechanisms.

A bimetallic strip is also used in a recording thermometer.

There are normally two types of metal on the bimetallic strip.

The setting of this bimetallic strip can be adjusted.

Though it might be easier to rig up a coiled bimetallic strip.

A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.

Harrison also invented the bimetallic strip and the rolling bearing, without which most vehicles could not move.

The thermal element consists of a bimetallic strip that bends as it is heated.

These thermometers are nothing more than coiled bimetallic strips.

Customers include makers of heating elements and bimetallic strips for thermostats.

Within the device, the very small electric heating element, mentioned above, heats up a bimetallic strip.

The small amount of heat from the lit bulb bends the bimetallic strip so it makes contact with the other electrode.

Without the heat from the light, the bimetallic strip cools, bending away from the other electrode.

This takes the form of a bimetallic strip mounted on the regulating slide, and carrying the curb pins at the free end.

A bimetallic strip thermostat is commonly used as the automatic shut-off mechanism.

The basic circuit breaker consists of a simple switch, connected to either a bimetallic strip or an electromagnet.

Bimetallic strip wound into a coil.

When the mains voltage is turned on, a glow discharge in the rare gases heats the bimetallic strip.

Consequently, it takes longer for the bimetallic strip to warp sufficiently to trigger the electric "cut-out" described above.

Certainly in this machine Harrison left the world two enduring legacies - the bimetallic strip and the caged roller bearing.

Toasters made since the 1930s frequently use a thermal sensor, such as a bimetallic strip, located close to the toast.

The switch itself is a glass envelope filled with rare gases and containing two contacts, at least one of which is a bimetallic strip.

The balance consisted of a circular steel balance wheel with two bimetallic strips attached diametrically.

A good example of a bimetallic material would be a bimetallic strip which is used in some kinds of thermometers.
