 SPEED
SENSOR
A speed sensor, also known as a velocity sensor or a
motion sensor, is a device or instrument that measures

S
the rate of change of an object's position with respect to
time. It is commonly used in various applications to
monitor and control the speed or velocity of objects,
whether they are moving linearly or rotating. Speed
sensors provide valuable information for a wide range
of industries, including automotive, industrial
automation, aerospace, and scientific research.

MAIN USES
Speed sensors are used to determine how fast an object is moving, either in linear motion
(such as a vehicle's speed) or rotational motion (like the speed of a rotating shaft). They
are employed for various purposes, including safety, control, monitoring, and data
collection.

 FORCE
SENSOR
Force sensors, also known as load cells or force
transducers, are devices designed to measure the amount

S
of force or load applied to them. They are used to
convert mechanical force (tension, compression, or
pressure) into an electrical signal, which can be easily
measured and analyzed. Force sensors serve a variety of
purposes and are essential in numerous applications
across different industries. Here are some common
purposes and applications of force sensors:

MAIN USES
Force sensors serve the technical purpose of converting mechanical forces,
whether tension, compression, or pressure, into precise electrical signals. These
signals are essential for applications such as load measurement, structural
integrity analysis, feedback control
systems, and data collection in various industries, ensuring
accuracy and efficiency in force-related processes.
