What is a Stroboscope? A stroboscope or strobe is an instrument that works on the phenomenon of stroboscopic effect. It creates a stop motion effect of a rotating object by flashing a high-intensity light on it. This appearance …
The speed (how fast is object moving) and direction of motion of an object or rate of displacement covered by an object traveling along a straight path is known as the Linear Velocity. Most of the linear velocity transducers work…
The electromechanical tachometers (dc and ac tachometer generators) are suited for measuring angular velocity up to 10000 rpm. For measurement of high speeds effectively, various digital methods are employed, where there is no ph…
A Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is an electrical transducer or sensor used for the measurement of physical quantities like displacement, force, pressure, acceleration, etc. It works on the principle of mutual in…
The phenomenon of the piezoelectric effect in piezoelectric transducers can be used for the measurement of various physical quantities like force, pressure, acceleration, etc. It is an active transducer (doesn't need any exte…
What is Piezoelectric Transducer? The piezoelectric transducer is an active transducer that converts physical quantity (force or pressure or stress) into an electric potential. The piezoelectric transducer consists of a piezoele…
The tachometer is a measuring instrument used for measuring the angular (rotary) velocity of a rotating object. They measure rotational speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). It is important to measure the rotating speed of machi…
