Calibration of combined acceleration and pressure sensors
Techniques are disclosed relating to calibrating sensors configured to measure both pressure and acceleration. In various embodiments, a system detects a first voltage produce by a first piezoelectric material in a hydrophone when the hydrophone is exposed to an acceleration and detects a second voltage produced by a second piezoelectric material in the hydrophone when the hydrophone is exposed to the acceleration. The system, in some embodiments, compares the first voltage and the second voltage. Based on the comparing of the first and second voltages, in some embodiments, the system determines a resistance for a variable resistor coupled to one of the first and second piezoelectric materials.
PRESSURE SENSOR FOR HIGH PRESSURES
A pressure sensor for capturing pressures of up to 1000 bar includes a sensor assembly and a housing sleeve for accommodating the sensor assembly. Furthermore, the pressure sensor includes a membrane in mechanical connection with the housing sleeve and operative connection with the sensor assembly for transmitting a pressure. Pressure acts in an axial direction on the membrane and in a radial direction on the housing sleeve. The housing sleeve includes a constriction which locally increases an elasticity of the housing sleeve. The housing sleeve includes a reinforcement which locally reduces an elasticity of the housing sleeve. At high pressure, locally induced changes in the elasticity of the housing sleeve result in a reversible change in length of the housing sleeve, both in the radial direction and in the axial direction.
Method for producing a sensor housing for a force or pressure sensor and sensor housing, force or pressure sensor, and use of an additive manufacturing device
The invention relates to a method for producing a sensor housing for a pressure sensor and to a sensor housing for a pressure sensor, to a pressure sensor having such a sensor housing, and to the use of an additive production device for producing such a sensor housing. A sensor body and/or at least one membrane stamp is applied to a provided metal plate by means of additive production. The additive production produces an integrally joined, in particular planar joint connection between the sensor body and/or the at least one membrane stamp, on the one side, and the metal plate, on the other side.
