This fully revised and updated second edition of Sensors for Mechatronics, offers an overview of various sensors and sensor systems as required and applied in mechatronics. Emphasis lies on the physical background of the operating principles, illustrated with examples of commercially available sensors and of recent and future developments. The first chapter discusses general aspects of sensors, with a special section on quantities, notations and relations concerning these various domains. Moreover, it includes a section devoted to sensor errors and error minimization that apply to most of the sensors discussed in this book. Each of the subsequent chapters deals with one class of sensors, pursuing a classification according to physical principles rather than to measurands. These categories are resistive, capacitive, inductive and magnetic, optical, piezoelectric and acoustic sensors. Each of these chapters starts with a brief introduction to the physical background, from which follow the basic properties and limitations of such sensors. In subsequent sections, different types and constructions are given, together with the typical specifications and maximal ratings for devices available on the sensor market. For each category of sensors, a number of applications is given. Where appropriate, a section is added on the interfacing of the sensor. Fully revised and updated second edition with focus on industrial applicationsComprehensive coverage of a wide variety of sensor concepts and basic measurement configurations encountered in the mechatronics domainWritten by a recognized expert in the field who has extensive experience in industry and teachingSuitable for practicing engineers and those wanting to learn more about sensors in mechatronics INDICE: 1.
