Sensors, Transducers & Actuators

A transducer may be a device which converts one sort of energy into another. An actuator may be a device that converts energy into motion. Therefore, it's a selected sort of a transducer. When the output of the transducer is converted to a readable format, the transducer is named a sensor.

When it gets a control signal, an actuator reacts by converting the source's energy into mechanical motion. Inside the electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic sense, it can be a shape of computerization or automatic control. An actuator can be a mechanism by which a control system acts upon to perform an operation or task.
