Abstract
A pressure sensor including a rod-shaped member, a tubular housing, a variable member and a pressure measuring element. The variable member is entirely disposed within the housing, is connected to the housing and the rod-shaped member, and deforms when the rod-shaped member is displaced relative to the housing along an axial direction. The variable member includes a first portion connected to the rod-shaped member, a second portion connected to the housing, and a bent portion which connects the first portion and the second portion to each other and has a bent shape. A portion of the second portion is a pressure receiving portion which displaces the rod-shaped member in the axial direction when receiving a pressure. The pressure receiving portion of the second portion has a substantially uniform thickness, and the thickness of the pressure receiving portion of the second portion is larger than that of the first portion.
