Ever wondered what the difference is between a sensor, a transducer, and a transmitter? You're not alone! 😁 These terms often get tossed around like confetti, but they actually mean different things. Here is a mini brief to clear up the confusion. SENSOR A sensor measures a physical quantity (like temperature or light) and converts it to a readable output. But remember, ‘readable’ doesn’t always mean ‘useful’. Think of it as a change in resistance. TRANSDUCER A transducer converts one form of energy to another. It takes that readable output and makes it useful, like turning 0-10V into something you can actually use. SENSOR + TRANSDUCER COMBO Most devices have both a sensor and signal conditioning. So, is it a sensor or a transducer? It’s both! The term depends on the context. For position measurement, it’s usually called a sensor. For pressure, level, or flow, it’s a transducer. And sometimes, it’s even called a transmitter. TRANSMITTER A transmitter applies signal conditioning. It converts the signal from the sensor into something like 4-20 mA or a digital output. So, next time you hear these terms, you’ll know exactly what they mean. 👉 Stay tuned for more fun insights!

AC Motors in Mobile Machines: The Ultimate Showdown! ⚡️ When it comes to building electric motors, there are more ways to do it than there are ways to mess up a recipe! And just like cooking, the right motor depends on the dish... or in this case, the application. In today's mobile machines, almost all motors run on alternating current (AC), making different types of AC motors as common as coffee in the office. The two heavyweight champs in the ring are the induction motor (asynchronous motor) and the PMAC motor (synchronous motor). The main difference? It's all about how they generate their magnetic fields, which makes a big difference in their performance. PMAC Motor 🏃➡️ Known for its superior efficiency, the PMAC motor is like the marathon runner of electric cars, always aiming to minimize energy consumption and go the distance. Induction Motor 🦸♂️ Easier to manufacture and free from those pricey permanent magnets, the induction motor has been the trusty sidekick for forklifts and similar machines for years. But beware! Its efficiency can impact battery life and generate heat, potentially requiring more expensive cooling solutions. Plus, with a lower power factor, it sends extra current that doesn't contribute to work, making it the motor equivalent of a freeloading roommate. 👉 Choosing the right motor type is essential for optimizing performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in various applications. At Regal, we bring decades of motor expertise to help you make the best choice for your needs. Check out our motors, drive units, motor controllers, and battery solutions on our website, or contact us today for more information.

On this special day, we want to show our sincere appreciation to our amazing colleagues, customers, partners, suppliers, and followers. Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! ❤️

What is CANopen? 💡 CANopen is a higher-layer communication protocol and device specification used in control systems, typically based on the CAN (Controller Area Network) system. It provides a standardized framework for device communication, configuration, and network management, making it flexible and easier to integrate and manage complex systems. CANopen is commonly used in industries such as material handling, construction and forestry machinery, medical, and factory automation. 👉 Read the full article and discover our CANopen products, including pressure transmitters, rotary sensors, and e-mobility systems, on our website. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

It's always a pleasure to collaborate with the team at Trafag Italia - Qualità, sicurezza ed affidabilità. 💙

How Does a Pressure Transmitter Work? 💡 Pressure transmitters have two key components: the pressure sensor, which detects pressure and converts it into an electrical signal, and the application-specific integrated microchip (ASIC), which normalizes this signal. 🔹The pressure sensor consists of a thin-film-on-steel cell. When pressure is applied, the membrane deforms, altering the resistance of four strategically placed strain resistors. This change generates a signal, forming the basis of pressure measurement. 🔹The ASIC plays a crucial role in converting the raw signal from the pressure sensor into a linear, accurate, and temperature-independent measurement signal. By storing correction values determined through precise calibration, the ASIC ensures a standardized output that can be seamlessly integrated into higher-level control systems. Optimal performance is achieved when the measuring cell and microchip are precisely matched. Our partner, Trafag, ensures optimal functionality, quality, and reliability by producing its own measuring cells and developing its own ASICs.
