摘要 |
The invention is concerned with a pressure sensor which avoids temperature hysteresis effects caused on account of heat-induced expansions as a result of stresses between a ceramic pressure-measuring cell and a metallic housing.The inventive pressure sensor (100) for determining the pressure of a process medium comprises a metallic housing (110), which is open to a process medium and has a continuous hole (111) for accommodating the ceramic pressure-measuring cell (120), the pressure-measuring cell (120) comprising a ceramic base body (122) and a ceramic diaphragm (121), which is fitted thereon and is exposed to the process medium, and also suitable means (124a, 124b, 130), which supply an electrical signal which can be picked off and corresponds to the process pressure acting on the diaphragm (121). The pressure-measuring cell (120) is fixed axially in a resilient manner in the housing (110) by means of a metallic fixing device (150) which acts on a non-metallic intermediate body (140), which is provided between the pressure-measuring cell (120) and the fixing device (150) and can be moved radially at least with respect to the fixing device (150).
