The widespread application of thermal actuators stems from their distinctive characteristics:
Simple construction and low cost: Particularly in bimetallic strip and thermal expansion types, which lack complex motor or gear mechanisms.
Reliable operation: Long service life due to the absence of wear-prone moving parts.
Non-sparking: Intrinsically safe, making them highly suitable for flammable or explosive environments.
Capable of self-regulating functions: Certain designs (such as bimetallic strip thermostats) can directly sense temperature and respond without requiring an external controller.
Silent operation: No motor noise.
