ME/AE 5478, CompE 5820, EE 5870 – Mechatronics Questions: Sensors and Transducers QUESTION 1 For the potentiometer in the Figure below determine the expression for the output voltage Vo (i.e., the voltage across the load) as a function of linear displacement x when the load resistance is on the same order of magnitude as the other resistances in the circuits and when the load resistance is significantly larger than the magnitude as the other resistances in the circuits. The total wiper length of travel is lm. Vref x RC RL QUESTION 2 For the rotary potentiometer, the relative loading error is the loading error e divided by θ/θmax. Determine the ratio of θ/θmax for which the maximum relative loading error occurs. QUESTION 3 Explain how a piezoelectric element can be used to measure acceleration. Explain how a strain gauge can be used to measure acceleration. Explain how the displacement of a mass can be used to measure acceleration. QUESTION 4 For the potentiometer in the Figure below determine the expression for the output voltage Vo (i.e., the voltage across the load) as a function of linear displacement x when the load resistance is on the same order of magnitude as the other resistances in the circuits and when the load resistance is significantly larger than the magnitude as the other resistances in the circuits. The total wiper length of travel is lm. Re Vref x RC RL Re 2 QUESTION 5 An encoder is to attached to shaft A. Shaft A is connected to shaft B through a gearing system with gear gain Ng, which is the ratio of the velocity of shaft A to the velocity of shaft B. If the encoder is used to measure the angular position of shaft B, what is the angular displacement measurement resolution? If the encoder is used to measure the velocity of shaft B by counting the number of encoder pulses during a time period T, what is the angular velocity measurement resolution? If the encoder is used to measure the velocity of shaft B by counting the number of clock cycles during one encoder pulse, what is the angular velocity measurement resolution? QUESTION 6 Explain how a piezoelectric element can be used to measure force. Explain how a strain gauge can be used to measure force. Explain how the deflection of a spring can be used to measure force. QUESTION 7 A motor drives a rack and pinion mechanism. Each motor revolution causes 10 mm displacement of the rack. An encoder is directly attached to the motor shaft to sense the position and velocity of the rack. If the encoder has 720 counts/revolution and quadrature encoding is utilized, what is the rack displacement measurement resolution? If the motor encoder signal is measured at a constant frequency of 100 Hz, what is the rack velocity measurement resolution?
