Transducers and Sensors

TRANSDUCER:- is any device that converts energy from one form to

another
Classification
1- Input transducer
non electrical Electrical
2- output transducer
Electrical non electrical
SENSORS :- Detection, Measurement
converts mechanical, magnetic , thermal, optical or chemical variation into
the electrical voltage and current




Proximity sensors or switches are the pilot devices that detect the
presence of an object (Target ) without physical contact.

1- encapsulated
2- some time object being detected is two small
3- Rapid response, High switching application
counting, ejection control application
4- an object has to sense through non metallic barriers such as
glass, plastic
long life and reliable
5- a fast electronic control system required a bounce input
