Transducer is a general term for a device that converts some physical property into a signal.

Sending Unit is a colloquial term often used in the automotive industry with the same general meaning as Transducer.

From Wikipedia: A transducer is a device, usually electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical, electromagnetic, photonic, or photovoltaic that converts one type of energy or physical attribute to another for various purposes including measurement or information transfer.
