sensors

1. temperature sensors

   • Temperature sensor is a device, to measure the temperature through an electrical signal it requires a thermocouple or RTD

2. infrared sensors

   • An infrared sensor is an electronic instrument that is used to sense certain characteristics of its surroundings. It does this by either emitting or detecting infrared radiation. Infrared sensors are also capable of measuring the heat being emitted by an object and detecting motion.

3. proximity sensors

   • Proximity sensors are commonly used in industrial applications, from manufacturing and food production to recycling. They are also used in vehicles for detecting the proximity of other vehicles relative to one's own car, as well as for parking-assist functions.

4. pressure sensors

   • A pressure sensor works by converting pressure into an analogue electrical signal. The demand for pressure measuring instruments increased during the steam age. ... Nowadays we measure pressure electronically using pressure transducers and pressure switches.

5. level sensors

   • Basic level sensors can be used to identify the point at which a liquid falls below a minimum or rises above a maximum level. ... Some types use a magnetic float, which rise and fall with the liquid in the container. Once the liquid, and by extension, the magnet, reach a certain level, a reed magnetic switch is activated.

6. ultrasonic sensors

   • An ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that measures the distance to an object using ultrasonic sound waves. An ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back information about an object's proximity.

7. touch sensors

   • Capacitive Touch Sensor. Capacitive touch sensors are widely used in most of the portable devices like mobile phones and MP3 players. Capacitive touch sensors can be found even in home appliances, automotive and industrial applications
