Study Notes
Electromechanical Devices
- An electromechanical device is a device that uses both electrical and mechanical systems to perform a function.
Sensors and Actuators
- A sensor detects and measures physical or environmental parameters, such as temperature, pressure, or light, and converts them into electrical signals.
- An actuator uses electrical energy to produce mechanical energy, such as movement or force, to perform a specific task.
Transducers
- A transducer converts one form of energy to another, such as converting electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa.
DC Motors
- A DC motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Functions and Differences
- The primary function of a sensor is to detect and measure physical or environmental parameters and convert them into electrical signals.
- The primary function of an actuator is to use electrical energy to produce mechanical energy, such as movement or force, to perform a specific task.
- The primary function of a transducer is to convert one form of energy to another.
- The main difference between a sensor and an actuator is that a sensor detects and measures parameters, while an actuator produces mechanical energy to perform a task.
