Explanation:-- A digital optical encoder is a device that converts motion into a sequence of digital pulses. By counting a single bit or by decoding a set of bits, the pulses can be converted to relative or absolute position measurements. Encoders have both linear and rotary configurations, but the most common type is rotary. Rotary encoders are manufactured in two basic forms: the absolute encoder where a unique digital word corresponds to each rotational position of the shaft, and the incremental encoder, which produces digital pulses as the shaft rotates, allowing measurement of relative position of shaft. Most rotary encoders are composed of a glass or plastic code disk with a photographically deposited radial pattern organized in tracks. As radial lines in each track interrupt the beam between a photo emitter-detector pair, digital pulses are produced.

Tacho-generator: Is used to measure angular velocity Can be of two types: variable reluctance or ac generator The variable reluctance one consist of toothed wheel of ferromagnetic material which is attached to the rotating shaft. As the wheel rotates, the air- gap between the coil and the Ferro-magnet changes. Thus the flux linked by the a pick up coil changes. This result in alternating e.m.f in the coil. If the coil has n teeth and rotates with angular velocity w, then the flux and the induced voltage 

Piezoelectric sensors: A piezoelectric sensor is device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure the changes in velocity converting to electric quantity

Moving COIL Type: velocity transducer/sensor consists of a moving coil suspended in the magnetic field of a Permanent magnet. The velocity is given as the input, which causes the movement of the coil in the magnetic field. This causes an e.m.f to be generated in the coil. This induced e.m.f will be proportional to the input velocity and thus, is a measure of the velocity
