A sensor is a device that detects and responds to physical stimuli.
There are many types of sensors including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, proximity sensors, and many more.
A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy to another.
There are many kinds of transducers including electrical, mechanical, and optical transducers.
A sensor detects physical stimuli while a transducer converts energy from one form to another.
A signal conditioner is a device that amplifies or filters the output signal of a sensor or transducer.
The purpose of a signal conditioner is to provide a reliable and accurate output from a sensor or transducer.
Sensors and transducers are used in a wide range of applications including automotive, aerospace, medical, and environmental monitoring.
A load cell is a transducer that converts mechanical force into an electrical signal.
A strain gauge is a sensor that measures changes in strain of an object.
A thermocouple is a sensor that measures temperature by detecting a voltage difference between two different metals.
A piezoelectric sensor is a transducer that generates a voltage when subjected to mechanical stress.
An accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration and can be used to detect changes in position or velocity.
A pressure sensor is a sensor that measures changes in pressure.
A proximity sensor is a sensor that detects the presence of nearby objects.
A flow sensor is a sensor that measures the rate of flow of a fluid.
A humidity sensor is a sensor that measures the amount of moisture in the air.
A pH sensor is a sensor that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
An optical sensor is a sensor that uses light to detect changes in physical properties.
A magnetic sensor is a sensor that measures changes in the magnetic field of an object.
