Temperature Switches

Ashcroft® temperature switches control high and low temperature operating limits in a broad range of applications. Simple and easy to install, they are available in a variety of configurations, including NEMA 4 and NEMA 7 temperature switches, OEM temperature switches, watertight temperature switches, explosion-proof temperature switches and differential pressure switches. 

Types of Temperature Switches

Ashcroft offers a broad range of temperature switches engineered to provide reliable temperature monitoring, control, and equipment protection across industrial, process, OEM, and hazardous applications. Available in mechanical designs with direct and remote sensing configurations. Ashcroft temperature switches help automate critical processes and protect equipment from abnormal operating conditions.

Mechanical Temperature Switches – Designed to provide dependable temperature monitoring and switching using proven mechanical sensing technology for industrial and process applications.

Direct Mount Temperature Switches – Designed for local temperature monitoring where the switch is installed directly at the process connection for fast response and simple installation.

Remote Temperature Switches – Designed to monitor temperature remotely using capillary systems or remote sensing elements, making them ideal for applications with vibration, high temperatures, or limited accessibility.

Hazardous Area Temperature Switches – Designed for use in hazardous or demanding environments requiring explosion-proof, weatherproof, or other certified solutions.

Adjustable Temperature Switches – Designed to provide field-adjustable temperature setpoints for process control, alarms, and equipment protection.
