PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetostriction-type pressure sensor which can properly reduce hysteresis of the output of a sensor, and to precisely detect a cylinder internal pressure, using such a magnetostriction-type pressure sensor. SOLUTION: The magnetostriction-type pressure sensor 10, as a cylinder internal pressure sensor which is provided to an internal combustion engine 1, is provided with a pair of magnetostrictive films 12a and 12b, having respective magnetic anisotropy and arranged so as to receive the cylinder internal pressure; a detection coil 14 arranged adjacent to the pair of magnetostrictive films 12a and 12b; an excitation coil 15 for forming a magnetic flux passing through the detection coil 14; and a housing 11 for housing the pair of magnetostrictive films 12a and 12b, the detection coil 14, and the excitation coil 15. The pair of magnetostrictive films 12a and 12b are provided in parallel separated via a gap G so that the magnetization directions thereof are opposite to each other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
