Actuators and Sensors in Mechatronics
Mechatronics, as an engineering discipline,
is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, control
engineering, and computer science, all integrated through the design process.
This PDF course studies actuators and sensors commonly used in the design of
mechatronic systems and covers the following topics in Mechatronics :
Fundamentals of Electromechanical Motion Devices, Direct-Current Motors, Stepper
Motors, Brushless DC Motors, Fundamentals of Fluid Power: Modeling, Analysis,
and Control, Hydraulic Actuators, Pneumatic Actuators, Sensors and Measurement
Systems, Analog & Digital Motion Sensors, Motion Control Systems.
