From large-scale industrial systems to components in consumer applications, mechatronics has woven itself into the very fabric of modern technology. Among the most important elements of mechatronic systems are electromagnetic sensors and electromechanical actuators. Cultivated over years of industrial and research experience, Sensors and Actuators in Mechatronics: Design and Applications builds a... Read more

Biography
Pawlak, Andrzej M
"The author does a really nice job of clearly describing the working fundamentals of these devices along with design equations and analysis of the operation to give the reader a good understanding to design their own innovative actuators and to optimize existing ones. This is a much-needed book in this area of engineering."
