Sensortyperne
Sensortyperne, also known as sensor types, refer to the various categories of sensors used in technology and engineering to detect and respond to changes in their environment. These devices convert physical phenomena into electrical signals, which can then be processed and analyzed. Sensors are fundamental components in a wide range of applications, including automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial automation.
The primary types of sensors include:
1. Mechanical Sensors: These detect physical quantities such as pressure, force, and displacement. Examples include strain
2. Thermal Sensors: These measure temperature and heat flow. Common types include thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors
3. Electrical Sensors: These detect electrical quantities like voltage, current, and resistance. Examples include potentiometers and
4. Magnetic Sensors: These measure magnetic fields. Common types include magnetometers and Hall effect sensors.
5. Optical Sensors: These detect light and other electromagnetic radiation. Examples include photodiodes and fiber optic
6. Chemical Sensors: These detect the presence and concentration of specific chemicals. Examples include gas sensors
7. Biological Sensors: These detect biological substances such as DNA, proteins, and cells. Examples include biosensors
Sensors are characterized by their sensitivity, accuracy, response time, and durability. Advances in materials science and
