A sensor arrangement for indirect detection of a torque of a rotatably mounted shaft includes a sensor with at least one sensor element arranged in the surroundings of a bearing of the shaft. The bearing is linked to a supporting structure. The sensor element is configured to detect a proportion of a bearing force acting in a predetermined direction. The torque of the shaft is configured to be calculated from the acting proportion of the bearing force. The sensor has at least one sensor body with an outer contour that supports a corresponding sensor element and is pressed into a receiving hole. The sensor element has a predetermined distance and a predetermined angle to the bearing.

A device for determining a pressure and a method for manufacturing the same, having a housing including a cavity, a sensor device including a first sealing structure which engages with the housing so that an opening of the cavity is closable with the aid of the sensor device, in which the sensor device is configured for determining a pressure which is applied to the cavity, and a sealing device situated between the housing and the sensor device and configured for pressing the first sealing structure on the housing by exerting a contact force on the sensor device.

A sensor assemblage, in particular a high-pressure sensor assemblage, includes a substrate element and a connector element, the substrate element comprising a sensor structure having a pressure-sensitive diaphragm and a cavity disposed in the region of the diaphragm, the substrate element being connected to the connector element in such a way that the cavity is connected to a hollow space of the connector element, the substrate element moreover including at least one further sensor structure having a pressure-sensitive further diaphragm and a further cavity disposed in the region of the further diaphragm, the further cavity being connected to a further hollow space of the at least one connector element or of a further connector element.

Sensor assemblage and method for manufacturing a sensor assemblage

A micromechanical pressure sensor and a method for producing a micromechanical pressure sensor. This pressure sensor has at least one membrane and a measuring element situated on the membrane. A pressure applied at the membrane or a pressure differential applied at the different sides of the membrane results in deformation of the membrane. Simultaneous with the deformation of the membrane, the measuring element is subjected to elastic elongation and/or compression. In a piezo-sensitive component, such elastic elongation and/or compression generates a measured variable in the measuring element, which represents the applied pressure or the applied pressure differential at the membrane. It is provided in this context that the measuring element have at least partially a NiCr(Si) layer. Due to an at least partial crystallization in the production of the micromechanical pressure sensor, this NiCr(Si) layer has more advantageous piezoelectrical characteristics than an amorphous NiCr(Si) layer.
