Introduction to Sensors (Full Lecture)

[@ComputerElectronicTechnology]

Thank you for this. I appreciate 🙏 the digital information. I will remember this for my work. Thanks!

[@soumer2016]

thank you Jim at all your effort >>> you are the best lecturer

[@JanStafaniak]

waiting for second part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aweosme u solved my problem with one sensor what i had problem to identivity

[@sadsad220]

thank for your instructive lecture

[@davidhaines4173]

Nice job once again Jim. You even have referred to the correct acronym.

[@bigbadtech]

I'm assuming you're referring to the acronym LVDT? Which in your opinion is the correct T ... transformer or transducer? I have a tendency to use transformer (because that's what it is) but I've found a lot of technical literature saying "transducer". Either one is correct but just curious if you see the same thing I do on the street.

[@davidhaines4173]

In order to satisfy your curiosity Jim, I do stand corrected if you were under the impression that I have seen the term "T" for "transducer"... I do happen to recall the "T" in the acronym "LVDT", standing for "Transducer "" utilized on rare occasion, and I do believe it is indicated on the website " Acronym Attic" , but I now appreciate your clarification that "T" .actually stands for "Transformer" .

[@bigbadtech]

I'm always interested in the different terms employed by different industries. A farmer was telling me about a "bang-bang" valve once and it took me a minute to realize he was talking about a regular solenoid operated (non proportional) directional control valve. Makes sense ... bang its on.... bang its off.

@@bigbadtech In our plant, they are referred to as transducers in most of the technical literature.

[@johntrauger68]

These devices ARE transducers from my understanding of the term. (Converts one form of energy to another), but specifically they are transformers as indicated by primary/secondary winding's. I think the first ones I came across were part of a powdered limestone weigh feeder in a coal fired power plant. The limestone would drop from above onto a plate which twisted a shaft and deflected the LVDT. I was impressed. It was 1994.

Thank you very much for these videos, helped me a lot :)

Very helpful

At 27:11 there's a magnetostrictive sensor, not a magnetorestrictive. Thank you for your job, Jim!

[@bigbadtech]

Good catch! I had a student a couple years ago that was a former English grad and she came into my office one day and said "You know it's "respectively" not "respectfully" when you're pointing something out." I came to the dramatic realization that I'd been using the term incorrectly my entire life! She also took it upon herself to point out that I never combed my hair.

[@RS_83]

Wow, she's a brave student) I wouldn't dare to point out on my teacher's haircut.) It was one day, when i saw chinese magnetostrictive level sensors with 4-20 ma transmitters in my factory. i was amazed and didn't realize how it worked, until i read one american article in the internet. I couldn't find russian article at first. So i wanna say again - "Thank you USA!" I'm from Russia and have difficulties to understand English, especially some slang expressions. But i keep trying. I'm looking forward to your new lessons. Thank you.

safi sana

[@tanjose3115]

Many thanks Sir. help a lot

[@sarathprasadkp9312]

small typing mistake in 11.51sec,in your min 50 psi pressure and max 500 psi example divider of 0-5v is 0-500 psi. how it happen ?

[@bigbadtech]

Good catch! Yes it should be 5/500-50=5V/450psi for the 11.1mV/psi transfer function.

[@sarathprasadkp9312]

Sir when you teach us servo motor drives and encoder concepts.....we are eagerly waiting....

[@bigbadtech]

Stay in touch because once I finish up the basic electronics series I'd like to cover more advanced concepts.

[@sarathprasadkp9312]

Sure sir....no doubt... your classes changes my career and increase my value as a engineer.... Thanks once again.....
