A method of manufacturing a housing and a housing for an inductive sensor having at least one sleeve-like housing part and at least one beaker-like end cap for a sensor element, wherein the beaker-like end cap, wherein the end cap is composed of plastic, wherein the end cap is arranged in the sleeve-like housing part, wherein the end cap has a peripheral annular pressing surface that has an excess size with respect to an inner diameter of the housing part along an outer diameter of the sleeve-like section so that a press fit is formed between the sleeve like housing part and the end cap, and wherein a jacket-like outer surface of the sleeve-like section of the end cap does not have a step that projects beyond the inner diameter of the sleeve-like housing part.

The invention relates to a plug-in module for a sensor () comprising a sleeve-like housing () in which a sensor element (), a carrier board () carrying an electronic circuit and a plug-in unit () are positioned. In a plug-in module which can be used equally for sensors of different sizes, an outer diameter () of the plug-in unit () approximately corresponds to a smallest inner diameter () of the sleeve-like housing (), wherein a coding sleeve () is inserted between the plug-in unit () and the sleeve-like housing ().

Plug-in module for a sensor and method of installing a plug-in module for a sensor

A cable bushing which is small, simple and cost-effective as possible, having a cable, a housing, through which the cable is led, and which has a radially inwardly extending step at its first end, a first sleeve, which engages around the cable and which has a first section arranged inside the housing. The first sleeve is held by the step in the housing, the first sleeve bearing in a seal-forming fashion against the cable and there being a sealing means between the step in the housing and the fist sleeve. A second sleeve is arranged in the interior of the housing and has a first cylindrical section which engages closely around the cable, the first sleeve having a second section which adjoins an end of the first section which faces the step, said second section bearing on the first section of the first sleeve, and an attachment element by means of which the second sleeve is pressed against the first sleeve.

Cable bushing

A pressure measurement device, a receiving tube, in which a pressure sensor element is axially clamped by means of a screw element. Between the screw element and the pressure sensor element, a transmission element is arranged to transmit axial clamping forces. The pressure measurement device exhibits at least one first stop, which is not rotatable relative to the receiving tube, wherein the transmission element exhibits at least one second stop, which is engaged with the at least one first stop, in order to prevent a rotation of the transmission element. In this way, a transmission of torque to the pressure sensor element during assembly is prevented. Preferably the first stop is arranged on a bushing which centers the pressure sensor element in the receiving tube.
