Thermal Actuator

Thermal actuators extend a piston upon temperature increase without the need for any external power source.

The expansion & contraction of these thermal actuators can be utilized to operate a valve, mechanical linkage, electric switch, or any other device. The plug and diaphragm type are proven to be the most reliable style for any application.

Our thermal actuators are used on all major aerospace platforms, They are used to control fuel and oil temperature, on all APUs and in cabin environmental systems.

AS 9100 Aerospace Quality System Standard

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines individual manufacturing approvals through its Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and laws mandating compliance. Subsequently, AS9100 is rapidly becoming a prerequisite for doing production in the aerospace business, as many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) only work with suppliers that are certified to the aerospace standard. Also, many International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) member companies have deployed AS9100 within their own organizations.

Vernatherm by Vernet’s temperature range is the largest selection available today. Any temperature range can be accommodated. Our thermal expansion material blend gives us an edge over our competitors’ standard operating temperatures. When a customer chooses Vernatherm by Vernet’s thermal actuators, the customer is in complete control of what temperature range they receive.
