â¢ Transducers and sensors are physical devices that are used in electrical, electronic and many other types of gadgets and appliances. â¢ Transducers are used to convert one energy type into another while sensors measure energy levels and convert them into electrical signals that can be measured digitally.
Rotary Torque Sensors. A Torque Sensor is a transducer that converts a torsional mechanical input into an electrical output signal. There are two types of Torque Sensors a reaction that measures static torque, and rotary that measures dynamic torque. Metal foil strain gauges are bonded onto a flexure or structural member that deforms when a torsional or twisting motion is applied.
