Sensors

Sensors are essential devices that detect and respond to environmental changes. They transform physical phenomena, like light, temperature, pressure, or motion, into electrical signals that electronic systems can process. Sensors are essential components used in almost every electronic application, from everyday devices to complex industrial systems. They act as the bridge between the outside world and electronic devices, enabling the automation and digitalisation of numerous processes.

How Do Sensors Work?

Sensors operate by noticing physical changes in their surroundings and converting that detection into a signal that can be precisely measured and interpreted. Sensors are integral electronic components that serve as the bridge between the outside world and the electronic system, enabling us to observe, measure, and control critical operations. Sensors come in various configurations, each suited to perform a particular function in a specific application.

What are the Popular Sensor Types?

Sensors are available in numerous types, each suited for specific applications. Some of the most common types include:

Infrared Temperature Sensors: Infrared sensors are non-contact components that measure temperature by sensing the infrared radiation emitted by an object. This approach is particularly handy in situations where traditional contact methods are unusable, such as measuring the temperature of moving objects, harmful materials, and difficult-to-reach areas.
Motion Control Sensors detect and measure movement and provide critical insights for controlling and automating motion systems. They can be found in robotics, industrial automation, consumer electronics, and automotive systems.
Pressure Sensors: Pressure sensors precisely measure the pressure of various media, typically fluids (liquid or gas). They transform the measured pressure into electrical signals that are then processed to be used for several purposes, such as controlling, monitoring, and automation.
RTD Sensors: Resistance temperature detectors (RTD) are temperature-sensing sensors that utilise the predictable change in electrical resistance of a metal with temperature. They are praised for their stability, precision and linearity over various temperature ranges.
Thermistors: Thermistors are made using high-grade semiconductor material, usually metal oxide. They act as temperature-sensitive resistors, and their resistance significantly changes with temperature fluctuations.
Fibre Optic Sensors: Fibre optic sensors work based on optical fibres that detect changes in physical factors like pressure, temperature, vibration, and strain. They provide various benefits over old electronic sensors, which makes them perfect for a wide array of hi-stake applications.
