From the Back Cover
The first complete resource on the theory and application of linear position sensor technology
Sensor technology is an increasingly important area of research, as position sensors are being applied more and more to commercial, industrial, and automotive products and equipment. Linear Position Sensors: Theory and Application explains the theory behind the various technologies used and illustrates how they are implemented in practice.
Readers will gain valuable insight into the complexities behind:
- Sensor specification, design, and application criteria
- Resistive sensors
- Capacitive sensors
- Inductive sensors
- LVDT sensors
- Hall effect sensors
- Magnetoresistive sensors
- Magnetostrictive sensors
- Linear encoders
A recognized expert with more than two decades of professional experience in sensor development, the author provides all the necessary information for engineers or students of engineering to determine the optimum technology to use for a particular need and how to apply it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book rocks!,
By "eengineer2" (Sante Fe Springs, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linear Position Sensors: Theory and Application (Hardcover)
Great technical book packed only with useful information. Great section on understanding basic electrical parameters. I needed a position sensor and this book taught me what to look for, and how to understand it.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for sensor engineers,
By greg (Fair Lawn, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linear Position Sensors: Theory and Application (Hardcover)
The chapters about sensors and specs in general are great for new engineers to understand what's important in designing sensors. The rest of the chapters give an understanding of many types of sensors. The author's style is to be short and to the point, just what I like. The book is fairly short, and I hope future editions may expand more on some of the deatails.
