Sensors

The Main Typical Element Used In

A Deflection Type Pressure Sensor
Example :
i.Bellow-resistance pressure sensor
y The pressure is proportionate to
the resistivity.
y The resistance change is
detected by displacement of
sliding contact in the resistance
element.

Example :

ii. Bellow-inductance pressure

sensor
* The pressure is proportionate to the
inductance change which is
detected from the displacement of
the core in the wire coil.
* The core movement will produce
AC signal output which will give
the value and direction of
inductance .
* LVDT (linear variable differential
transformer) demodulator is used
to convert the AC output to DC.

iii.Diaphragm-capacitance pressure
sensor
y The pressure is proportionate to
the capacitance change at the
output through dielectric change.
y Pressure from the sensor element
causes the diaphragm to move
towards the plate and produces
dielectric change.
