As the definitive resource on position  sensing technology, Understanding Position Sensors encompasses all  aspects necessary for a full understanding of the field, with topics of  background, operational theory, design, and application.

While  grasping the theory of technologies used in the measurement of linear  and angular/rotary position sensors, the reader will also learn about  terminology, interfacing, testing, and other valuable concepts that are  useful in the understanding of sensors in general.

The  first three chapters provide readers with the necessary background  information on sensors. These chapters review the working definitions  and conventions used in sensing technology; specification of position  sensors and the effect on performance; and sensor output types, plus an  extensive section covering communication protocols. The remaining  chapters describe each separate sensor technology in detail. These  include resistive sensors, cable extension transducers, capacitive  sensors, inductive sensors, LVDT and RVDT sensors, distributed impedance  sensors, Hall effect sensors, magnetoresistive sensors,  magnetostrictive sensors, linear and rotary encoders, optical  triangulation position sensors, and ultrasonic position sensors.

  • Presents sensor specification, theory of operation, sensor design, and application criteria
  • Reviews the background history of position sensors as well as the underlying engineering techniques
  • Includes end-of-chapter exercises

Understanding  Position Sensors is written for electrical, mechanical, and material  engineers, as well as for engineering students who are interested in  understanding sensor technologies, and can be used as a textbook for an  engineering course on sensor technology.
