Abstract
The disclosure relates to a device for converting a pressure into an electric signal. The device has a first deformation body in the form of a first membrane, via which the pressure can be introduced into the device, and a second deformation body in the form of a second membrane, by means of the deflection of which the applied pressure can be converted into an electric signal. The device has a force transmitting means for transmitting pressure and/or tensile forces from the first deformation body to the second deformation body. Either the force transmitting means is designed as a separate part and the two membranes have a bore into which the force transmitting means is at least partly introduced and in which the force transmitting means is connected to the respective membrane, or the force transmitting means is integrally formed with one of the two membranes and the corresponding other membrane has a bore into which the force transmitting means is at least partly introduced and in which the force transmitting means is connected to said membrane.
