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.
Author(s): Dr. Kevin Craig, Associate
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
This note covers Introduction to Mechatronics, Sensors and Transduces,
Actuators Mechanical, Electrical, Programmable logic controllers, Elements of
CNC Machines and Robotics.
This note explains
introduction to mechatronics systems, Measurement systems, Control systems,
Sensors and transducers, Performance terminology, Sensors for displacement,
Velocity, Force, Fluid Pressure, Liquid Flow, Liquid Level, Temperature, Light
sensors and selection of sensors.
The term
mechatronics used for this integration of microprocessor control systems,
electrical systems and mechanical systems. A mechatronics system is not just a
marriage of electrical and mechanical systems and is more than just a control
system; it is complete integration of all them. This PDF covers the following
topics related to Mechatronics : Mechanical Rotational Systems, Electrical
Systems, Fluid System Building Blocks, Single Flow Graph Reduction, Routh
Hurwitz Criterion, Sensors and Transducers, Electrical Actuation System,
Temperature Measurement System.
