Transducers: Definition
 A device that receives energy from one system and transmit
it to another, often in different form.
 A device capable of being actuated by an energizing input
from one or more transmission media, and in turn,
generating a related signal to one or more transmission
systems or media.
Definition Explanation
 Device that convert energy from one physical form into
another
 Physical variable into signal variable
 Input measurand may be a physical or mechanical quantity,
property or conditions.
 Output may can be electrical, mechanical or acoustical.
 Terminology differentiation
 Sensor – input transducer
 Actuator – output transducer

Electrical Transducers
 Sensing device that transform the physical, optical or
mechanical quantity measurement directly to the electrical
voltage or current relative to the input measurand.
 Conversion of non-electrical quantity into electrical signal by
the transducers may need it to be in two parts:
 Sensing element – part that respond to the changes in the
physical quantity.
 Transduction element – part that transform the output from
sensing element into electrical signal.
