A fluid-dynamic device with integrated sensor element includes a first chamber suitable for the containment and/or the passage of a fluid, provided with an inlet opening operatively connectable to a fluid-dynamic circuit and configured to allow a fluid to enter the first chamber, and with a separate outlet opening, operatively connectable to a fluid-dynamic circuit and configured to expel said fluid from the first chamber. The first chamber includes at least one portion elastically deformable due to the action of the fluid contained therein and/or passing through the first chamber, to which a sensor element is associated which is sensitive to the deformation of the elastically deformable portion of the first chamber.

A cartridge-style flow sensor for sensing fluid flow. The includes an exterior, interior, head, base, a circuit board, and first and second ports. The first and second ports permit fluid to flow into and out of the interior. A Hall Effect Sensor in the interior detects the number of revolutions of an impeller. An electric coupler interfaces with the sensor and a transmitter for communication of the revolutions of the impeller to a controller. The controller determines the rate of fluid flow in a conduit. The controller automatically issues a command signal to a component of a hydraulic system to alter the rate of fluid flow in the conduit. The cartridge hydraulic flow sensor is easily and releasably engaged to a cavity of a hydraulic circuit manifold.
