Thermistors measure temperature by measuring the resistance of the electrical energy passing through the thermistor which is relative to temperature. Negative Temperature Coefficient defines that as the resistance decreases the temperature increases and vice versa. Positive Temperature Coefficient...

Positions, speeds and lengths can be measured reliably and efficiently with the new measuring system LMSMA from WACHENDORFF. WACHENDORFF has significantly optimised the adjustment possibilities of the systems, which are based on a spring arm with a central spring. This results in numerous...

So, what are the differences between the two devices? The main difference is the output signal – a sensor will give an output in the same format as the signal was received whereas the transducer will take the signal, transform it into different measurement and give this as the...
