Voltage transducers measure current and voltage in electrical circuits, with different types for AC and DC power sources. They come in various sizes and capacities, from small computer circuits to large transformer circuits, and can be used to regulate energy consumption and identify noise sources. They must comply with national electrical component standards and display […]
Piezoelectric transducers convert mechanical energy into electrical potential and vice versa using crystals or other materials. They are used in microphones, scales, accelerometers, and as generators and detectors of ultrasound. They can also be used as actuators for precise movement. The most common material used is PZT. They are reliable and rugged, unaffected by electromagnetic […]
Position transducers are electronic devices that detect movement or position in mechanical devices and transform it into a voltage or current signal to activate or deactivate the mechanism. Different types include encoders and inductive sensors, commonly used in fluid power applications. A transducer is an electronic device most commonly used as a sensory mechanism to […]
A temperature transducer measures air temperature and sends the information to a power source for mechanical systems like heating and cooling. It can also display information on digital thermostats and be used in various applications beyond temperature control. A temperature transducer is an electrical device usually used in automated air temperature control sequences. Its purpose […]
Frequency transducers convert energy into sound and vice versa. They are used in sonar equipment, acoustic speakers, microphones, guitar pickups, ultrasound imaging, and fishing depth sounders. They work by converting electromagnetic vibrations or sound waves into electrical signals that can be converted back into sound. A frequency transducer is a mechanism for converting some type […]
An ultrasound transducer, also known as a probe, is used with an ultrasound machine to create images of the body. It emits and receives sound waves to create an image, and can be adjusted for different tasks. Ultrasound is a valuable tool for medical diagnosis and treatment. An ultrasound transducer is a medical device that […]
A pressure transducer measures fluid or gas force and converts it into an electrical signal. There are three types of electrical output: millivolt, voltage, and 4-20 milliampere. The output determines the environment the product is suitable for. Pressure transducers can be affected by temperature and electromagnetic interference. They can be mounted to a computer board […]
Force transducers convert forces into output signals that can be used by gauges, controllers, or data loggers. They can be hydraulic, pneumatic, or based on strain gauge sensors. Load cells are highly accurate and used in various industries. They have analog or digital outputs and can be connected to computers or data highways. Force transducers […]
