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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents sensor specification, theory of operation, sensor design, and application criteria\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews the background history of position sensors as well as the underlying engineering techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes end-of-chapter exercises\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Position Sensors\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Nyce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103243824X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032438245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"David Nyce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517844238591,"sku":"9781032438245","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc9f51bc-ab67-4cc2-872f-f4649d059abe.jpg?v=1778732991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-position-sensors-david-nyce-9781032438245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
