Abstract
Actuators and sensors are simple and very sensitive components that create a broad impact and importance on industrial system needs. This chapter proposed various types of actuators and sensor models with their working capabilities and applications. In this chapter, the authors give a thorough review of the sensor and actuators and where these models are implemented in various real contexts of mechanical parts of the industry, electrical and electronic circuits, and other essential areas. Here the authors broadly covered optical, acoustic, chemical, and thermal sensors, as well as different types of actuators such as Pneumatic, hydraulic, motor-based, and electro-mechanical actuators, and examines the several actuator and sensor technologies and the range of applications for each. Also covered is the possible functions and its implementations. Finally, the authors conclude with some real-world examples of how actuators and sensors are used in various applications.
