1, e like me ka hoʻokomo ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi, nā kiko like ʻole o ka mea i ana ʻia:

Inā ʻaʻole i uila ka nui o ka hoʻokomo ʻana e like me ka mahana, ke kaomi, ka neʻe ʻana, ka wikiwiki, ka haʻahaʻa, ka māmā a me ke kinoea, ua kapa ʻia nā mea ʻike pili i nā mea ʻike wela, nā mea ʻike kaomi a me nā mea kaupaona.

ʻO kēia ʻano hoʻohālikelike e wehewehe pono i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻike, a hāʻawi i ka maʻalahi no nā mea hoʻohana. He mea maʻalahi ke koho i nā mea i makemake ʻia e like me nā mea i ana ʻia. ʻO ka hemahema ʻo ia ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o kēia ʻano hoʻokaʻawale i nā sensor me nā kumu like ʻole i hoʻokahi ʻāpana, a paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka maʻamau a me ka ʻokoʻa o kēlā me kēia sensor i ka mīkini hoʻololi. No laila, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka haku ʻana i kekahi mau kumu kumu a me nā ʻano loiloi o nā sensor. No ka mea, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ke ʻano like o ka sensor, e like me ka piezoelectric sensor, e ana i ka wikiwiki, ka wikiwiki a me ka amplitude i ka haʻalulu mechanical, a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e ana i ka hopena a me ka ikaika, akā ʻo kāna kumu hana like.

Hoʻokaʻawale kēia ʻano hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā ʻano nui kino i ʻelua ʻāpana: nā kumu kumu a me nā mea i loaʻa mai. No ka laʻana, hiki ke manaʻo ʻia ka ikaika ma ke ʻano he kumu kino kino, kahi e loaʻa ai nā nui kino e like me ke kaomi, ke kaumaha, ke koʻikoʻi a me ka torque. Inā pono mākou e ana i nā nui kino i luna, pono mākou e hoʻohana i nā mea ʻike ikaika. No laila, ʻo ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o nā nui kino kumu a me nā nui kino i loaʻa he mea kōkua nui i ka ʻōnaehana e hoʻohana ai i nā mea ʻike.

2, e like me ke kumumanaʻo o ka hana (detection) hoʻohālikelike

ʻO ke kumu ʻike e pili ana i ka hopena kino, ka hopena kemika a me ka hopena biological kahi e hana ai ka sensor. Aia nā resistive, capacitive, inductive, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, magnetoresistive, photoelectric, piezoresistive, thermoelectric, nuclear radiation, semiconductor sensors a pēlā aku.

No ka laʻana, e like me ke kumumanaʻo o ke kū'ē kū'ē, aia nā potentiometers, nā kānana, nā mea ʻike piezoresistive a pēlā aku. No ka laʻana, e like me ke kumumanaʻo o ka electromagnetic induction, aia nā mea ʻike inductive, nā mea hoʻokalakupua ʻokoʻa, nā mea ʻike eddy o kēia manawa, nā mea ʻike electromagnetic, nā mea ʻike magnetoresistive a pēlā aku. Wahi a ka manaʻo o ka semiconductor, aia nā mea ʻike paʻa e like me ka semiconductor force sensor, thermal sensor, photosensitive sensor, gas sensor a me magnetic sensor.

ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi o kēia ʻano hoʻohālikelike he mea maʻalahi ia no ka poʻe loea sensor e hana i ka loiloi inductive a me ka noiʻi ʻana mai ke kumu a me ka hoʻolālā, a pale aku i nā inoa he nui o nā sensor, no laila hoʻohana pinepine ʻia. ʻO ka hemahema, ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea hoʻohana ke koho i nā sensor.

I kekahi manawa, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka hoʻohana a me ka loina, e like me ka inductive displacement sensor a me ka piezoelectric force sensor, e pale aku i ka nui o nā inoa o nā mea ʻike.
