Sensors and actuators keep an eye on different signals, operate in different ways, and must work together to complete the mission. They are also physically located in different areas and are often used in solitary applications.
Inputs and outputs
Sensors check for inputs from the environment that trigger specific actions. On the other hand, the actuator tracking system and the output of the machine.
Signal
The sensor reads the specific environmental conditions through an electronic signal and fulfills the assigned mission. However, the fulfillment measures heat or motion energy to determine the effect produced.
Relying on
Sensors and fulfillments can actually rely on each other to perform specific missions. If both are present, the fulfillment will rely on sensors to do its job. If one or both of them are not functioning properly, the system will not be able to function.
Switch directions
Sensors tend to convert physical properties into electrical signals. The fulfillment has the opposite effect: it changes the electrical signal into a physical action.
location
If there is both a sensor and a fulfillment, the first is the input port and the latter is the output port.
use
Sensors are typically used to measure temperature, oscillation, pressure or liquid level of property. The industrial use of fulfillments consists of operating dampers, valves and couplings.
Examples of fulfillers and sensors
In the industrial context, actuators and sensors are used for many purposes. They all help critical property work more efficiently, which in turn helps reduce downtime and increase productivity.

Turck's solution to the problem of torque sensors
Torque sensors are generally used to measure the magnitude and direction of the driver's torque acting on the steering wheel and convert it into an electrical signal. The power steering ECU receives this signal and the vehicle speed signal, confirms the direction and size of the auxiliary power, and then reduces the steering torque when traveling at low speeds.
