LECTURE 3: Actuators, Encoders, Relays and Switches. Actuators: An actuator is the device that brings about the mechanical movements required for any physical process in the factory. Internally, actuators can be broken down into two separate modules: the signal amplifier and the transducer. The amplifier converts the low power control signal into a high power signal that is fed into the transducer, which actually converts the amplified control signal into the required form of energy. Figure 3.1.
1 Incremental Encoders: The output of an incremental motor encoder is used to control the speed of a motor shaft. 2  Absolute Encoders: The output of an absolute motor encoder indicates both the motion and the position of the motor shaft.he application in which the motor encoder is being utilized will determine the motor encoder technology that needs to be used. The two broad types of motor encoder technologies available are: 1  Incremental Encoders: The output of an incremental motor encoder is used to control the speed of a motor shaft.
