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.

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

A sensor for measuring pressure and/or force includes at least one measuring assembly having at least one piezoelectric measuring element subjected to compressive stress for dynamic pressure and/or force measurement, and a diaphragm for introducing the pressure and/or the force onto at least the piezoelectric measuring element. The sensor also includes a further measuring assembly that is based on a different physical measuring principle for measuring static pressure and/or force.

Sensor for measuring pressure and/or force

A piezoelectric sensor, preferably a pressure sensor, comprising at least two piezoelectric measuring elements placed in a housing, which are clamped between a membrane on the pressured side of the housing and a pick-up electrode electrically insulated against the housing. The piezoelectric measuring elements are fixedly attached to the pick-up electrode by thermo-compression or soldering and together with said pick-up electrode form a compact measuring element stack, which will significantly simplify assembly of the piezoelectric sensor.

Piezoelectric sensor

The invention relates to a glow plug with integrated pressure sensor for measuring pressure in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, where the shell of the glow plug has a section of reduced diameter on the side next to the combustion chamber and following a sealing cone, which section houses a glow coil and ends in a tip extending into the combustion chamber, and where the pressure sensor is positioned without cooling in the section of the glow plug next to combustion chamber. According to the invention the pressure sensor is subjected to pressure in radial direction, the glow coil of the glow plug or the electrical leads of the glow coil being guided towards the tip of the glow plug either by bypassing the pressure sensor or going through the pressure sensor.
