A pressure measurement system may provide ready manufacturing, reliable operation, and/or enhanced performance by using a circuit board housing. In particular implementations, a pressure measurement system includes a pressure inlet joint, a pressure detecting component, a circuit board, and a circuit board housing. The pressure detecting component is coupled to the pressure inlet joint, which is adapted to introduce a pressure of a fluid. The circuit board is coupled to the pressure detecting component and is operable to condition an electrical signal from the pressure detecting component. The circuit board housing at least partially encloses the pressure detecting component and is adapted to engage the circuit board. The circuit board housing has a substantially cylindrical shape and includes a larger diameter section and a smaller diameter section, the smaller diameter section coupled to the pressure inlet joint, the circuit board located at least in part in the larger diameter section.

System and method for pressure measurement

A magnetic device having a stator assembly having a magnetic flux return path comprising at least a pair of pole plates located a fixed distance apart from each other and at least one flux return strip pressed between each pair of spaced apart pole plates, and a rotor assembly having permanent magnetic material and being disposed for rotation relative to the stator assembly. Use of the flux return strip eliminates the need for a housing of ferrous material to complete the flux return path and facilitates flexible design of light-weight non-metallic housings and mounting systems or integral mounting to mating components.
