Pressure Sensors measure the force exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas) and convert it into an electrical signal.
Common types:
- Strain Gauge Sensors – detect pressure via deformation of a material.
- Piezoelectric Sensors – generate voltage when pressure is applied.
- Capacitive Sensors – change capacitance with pressure changes.
Used in industrial automation, hydraulics, pneumatics, and process control.
