Temperature Sensor: Is a device, typically, a thermocouple or RTD,
that provides for temperature measurement through an electrical signal. A thermocouple is made from two dissimilar metals that generate electrical voltage in direct proportion to changes in temperature Voltage Sensor: is typically convert lower voltages to higher voltages, or vice versa. Current sensor: is a device that detects electric current (AC or DC) in a wire, and generates a signal proportional to it. The generated signal could be analog voltage or current or even digital output. Distance Sensor: The sensor emits an ultrasonic pulse and is captured by a receiver. Position Sensor: is any device that permits position measurement. It can either be an absolute position sensor or a relative one (displacement sensor). Position sensors can be linear, angular, or multi-axis. Force Sensor: a transducer that converts an input mechanical force into an electrical output signal. Force Sensors are also commonly known as Force Transducers. Pressure Sensor: Tactile pressure sensors are useful in robotics as they are sensitive to touch, force and pressure. Humidity: the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor (H2O) in the mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Thus the relative humidity of air is a function of both water content and temperature. Light: is something that a robot can use to detect the current ambient light level PH: is a device used for potentiometrically measuring the pH, which is either the concentration or the activity of hydrogen ions, of an aqueous solution Contact: are those which require physical contact against other objects to trigger.
Sound Sensor: this sensor (generally a microphone) detects sound
and returns a voltage proportional to the sound level. Infra-red Sensor: a type of light sensors, which function in the infra red part of the frequency spectrum.

Linear Actuator: is an actuator that creates motion in a straight line, in
contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Most appropriate applications: Repeated Linear Movement Electric actuators are often the solution of choice for repeatedly moving a loador several loadsto a consistent locationor locationsin a continuous fashion. Repeated linear movement sometimes requires synchronizing multiple axes to facilitate coordinated moves. If you need to repeat motion continuously and consistently, as well as coordinate several different motions simultaneously, this type of actuator is often the best solution. Adaptable Movement Linear motion that changes or adaptsfrequently referred to as adaptable movement is another important application. Whenever load, positions, or the very nature of the motion itself changesas often is necessary for synchronizing movements with other machine operationsyou can use these actuators to control and facilitate adaptable movement. Controlled Precision Movement Precisely controlled motionthe accuracy of which is beyond the capabilities of an actual person without exhibiting human erroris another important electric actuator use. With these linear actuators, you can control position with extreme levels of precision, duplicate and repeat precise movements within the full stroke, and even reprogram or reconfigure precise motions to support multiple applications. Acceleration Controlled Movement Electric linear actuators are also used to control the rate of acceleration. Because you can precisely control speed, position, and torque, you can make the actuator accelerate or decelerate as quickly and as often as you need.
Rational Actuator: is an autonomous entity which observes through
sensors and acts upon an environment using actuators. Most appropriate applications: Rotary actuators and parts are used in a variety of industrial, research and development, lab, production and quality inspection applications all of which require rotary motion. These pneumatic actuators are appropriate for payloads of all sizes, and can be mounted and operated in any direction. Parkers efficient line of actuators and parts enable productivity improvements through automation of repetitive tasks.
