sensors sense how things are running, to see if anything needs to be adjusted, send info to ECU, ECU then sends info to actuator then the actuators does something to deal with the problem... sensors - input, actuators - output.

What is the difference between transducer and actuator?

An transducer converts one form of energy into another. eg. door bell(electrical energy - sound energy) An actuator transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. eg. motor An actuator is essentially a transducer but a transducer need not be an actuator.


What is relation between flow rate and actuator speed?

Flow rate is directly proportional to actuator speed. Increasing the actuator speed will result in higher flow rates, while decreasing actuator speed will decrease flow rates. Actuator speed controls the flow of a fluid or material through a system by adjusting the rate at which the actuator allows the material to flow.


What is the difference between range and sensitivity?

Sensitivity describes the smallest change an instrument can detect. Range describes the largest change an instrument can detect.


What is deferant between pt100 and pt1000?

The Pt 1000 sensor is the "big brother" of the Pt 100 sensor. Its nominal resistance at 0°Cis 1000 Ω. Resistance values of the whole series are higher by a factor of 10. The sensor is used in the same way as the Pt 100 sensor. Its dimensions are slightly larger (4 x 5 uninsulated). Thermostats and sensors for Pt 1000 on request.


What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?

The phase difference between two waves is directly proportional to the path difference between them. The phase difference is a measure of how much the wave has shifted along its oscillation cycle, while the path difference is a measure of the spatial separation between two points where the waves are evaluated.
