Wh at is sensor?` Sensor is a measurement device that produces a signal in response
to its detecting the physical variable of interest, for exampletemperature, force, pressure, position, speed, acceleration andvibration. Eg thermometer
` Still, in measurement system, one will also encounter the term
transducer .` Transducer converts the previously mentioned physical variable into
another form by quantifying the variable into a signal that can beinterpreted as the value of the measured variable.
` Some of signal conditioning devices are also classified as transducer.
` However, in some cases, sensor and transducer can be the samedevice.` For instance, in the case of a limit switch that converts mechanical
movement of lever to close an electrical contact.

Passive-- Device which derive power reqd. fortransduction from auxiliary power source.Externally poweredEg : resistive, inductive, capacitive Without power they
will not work
Active-- No extra power reqd. to produce I/p Self generating.Draw power from input appliedEg. Piezo electric xtal used for accelartionmeasurement

F actor influencing t h e c h oice of transducers` Operating principle- T he transducers are many a times
selected on the basis of operating principle used by themlike resistive, capacitive, inductive etc.
` Sensitivity- it is the ratio of output s/g or response of theinstrument to a change of input or measured variable.T hus transducer must be sensitive enough to producedetectable output.
` Operating range- the transducer should maintain therange requirements and have good resolution over itsentire range.

` Resolution-The smallest c hange in measured v alue to whic hthe transducer will respond. ` Accurac y - Degree of closeness to the true v alue of the quantity
under test.Thus hi g h degree of accurac y is required if frequent
cal ibration is not required. ` Error-The transducer should maintain the ex pec ted
input/ output relation as descr ibed by transfer func tion so as av oid the error.
` Load ing effec t-The transducer should hav e a hi g h inputimpedance and low output impedance to av oid load ing effec ton transducer.

potentiometer` resistive potentiometers are one of the most widely used forms of
position sensor` can be angular or linear` consists of a length of resistive material with a sliding contact
onto the resistive track ` when used as a position transducer a potential is placed across
the two end terminals, the voltage on the sliding contact is thenproportional to its position
` an inexpensive and easy to use sensor` T he potentiometer can be used as a voltage divider to obtain a
manually adjustable output voltage at the slider (wiper) from afixed input voltage applied across the two ends of thepotentiometer. T his is the most common use of them.

Advantage & Disadvantage
Advantage--` T hey are inexpensive.` Simple to operate and very useful for application where
the requirment are not particularly severe.` T hey are useful for the measurement of large of
displacement.Disadvantage `
When using a linear potentiometer, a large force isrequired to move the sliding contacts.` T he sliding contacts can wear out, became misaligned and
generate noise.

Disadvantages
` Large displacement required for appreciable differentialoutput.
` Sensitive to stray magnet (but shielding is possible)
` Performance affected by temp` Dynamic response limited mechanically by the mass of
the core and electrically by applied voltage.

Strain T h eory
Strain is the amount of deformation of a body due to anapplied force or in other words strain is the fractionalchange in length and lateral dimension shown in the figureabove. Strain can be positive (tensile) or negative(compressive).

` T he resistance of the conductor is proportional to thelength and inversely proportional to cross section area.
` T hus there is change in the resistance of conductor dueto strain and this property is called piezoelectric effect
and thus strain guage is sometimes also calledpiezoelectric guage.

Expression for gauge factor` For a wire of cross-sectional area A, resistivity , and
length L the resistance is given by
L R
A
V!
When the wire is stretched, the cross-sectionalarea A is reduced, which causes the total wireresistance to increase. In addition, since the latticestructure is altered by the strain, the resistivity of the material may also change, and this, in general,causes the resistance to increase further.

` T he strain is measured in term of microstrain.` 1 microstrain = 1 um/m
` From gauge factor equtaion-` 1 st term = resistance change due to change in length.` 2nd term = resistance change due to change in area.` 3rd trem = resistance change due to change in
piezoelectric effect.` Now change in resistivity due to strain in almost
negligible and if neglected. T he gauge factor in given by:Gf = 1+ 2v

` T he bonded metallic type of strain gauge consists of astrain sensitive conductor (wire) mounted on a smallpiece of paper or plastic backing.
` this gauge is cemented firmly to the surface of the
structural member to be tested by epoxy .` T he wire grid may be flat type or wrap-around.` Flat for plane surface and wrap around for cylindrical
surface.
