Airmar Transducer

Airmar TransducerAt its core, a speed transducer is essentially made up of a postponed magnet surrounded by a conductive coil. The magnet moves when the transducer moves. This movement creates an electrical current that is proportionate to the rate of the transducer. Therefore , speed is measured by translating the electrical signal generated. With integration, the displacement that results from the movement can be measured as well. Installation Gravity is regarded when mounting horizontal and vertical velocity transducers. The sensor should have an axis sensitive enough to linear movement. A cross-axis movement however, if powerful enough, can damage the sensor or ruin the velocity measurement. Occasionally , sensors are placed on both axial planes to get a clearer signature of the movement.
