Types of Industrial Sensors and their Uses
Sensors are input devices that provide an output (signal) concerning a particular physical quantity (input). Over the years, different types of sensors have emerged to measure and monitor various elements such as heat, humidity, pressure, etc., and they are used across various applications. This blog from Millennium Semiconductors, a leading sensors distributor in India , quickly runs you through seven different sensors. 10 Types of Industrial Sensors and their Uses 1. Pressure Sensor A pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of the gas, air, and water. It provides an electrical signal to the controller and is used in vacuum, pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The various pressure sensors include Absolute Pressure Sensor, Differential Pressure Sensor, Vacuum Pressure Sensor, and Gauge Pressure Sensor. 2. Temperature Sensor As the name suggests, a temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature a...
