Sensors are all around us. They are in phones, cars, planes,
trains, robots, mils, lathes, packaging lines, chemical plants,
power plants, etc. Modern technology could not exist without
sensors. The sensors measure what we need to know and the control
system then performs the desired actions. When an engineer builds
any machine he or she needs to have basic understanding about
sensors. Correct sensors need to be selected for the design right
from the start. The designer needs to think about the ranges,
required accuracy, sensor cost, wiring, correct installation and
placement etc. Without the basic knowledge of sensors fundamental
no machine can be built successfully today. The objective of this
book is to provide the basic knowledge to electrical and mechanical
engineers, engineering students and hobbyist from the field of
sensors to help them with the selection of "proper" sensors for
their designs. No background knowledge in electrical engineering is
required, all the necessary basics are provided. The book explains
how a sensor works, in what ranges it can be used, with what
accuracy etc. It also provides examples of industrial application
for selected sensors. The book covers all the major variables in
mechanical engineering such as temperature, force, torque,
pressure, humidity, position, speed, acceleration etc. The approach
is always as follows: - Explain how the sensor works, what is the
principle - Explain in what ranges and with what accuracy it can
work - Describe its properties with charts, eventually equations -
Give examples of such sensors including application examples
