Abstract
A sensor is proposed that has a measuring diaphragm (,), with at least one resistor measurement bridge (,); a deflection of the measuring diaphragm (,) causes mistuning of the respective measurement bridge (,), and the resultant change in the bridge diagonal voltage can be evaluated. The sensor (,) has one resistor measurement bridge (,) on each half (,) of the measuring diaphragm (,), and in each of the resistor measurement bridges (,), two opposed bridge branches (R,R,) are changed in their resistance values (&Dgr;R) by radial compressive offset, and the respectively other bridge branches (R,R,) are altered in their resistances by radial or tangential elongation.
