Abstract: A pressure transducer having a magnetoresistive element and a magnet displaced with a diaphragm. A magnet supporting device is mounted on an element supporting device both for slidable movement in the displacement-direction of the magnet and for rotatable movement about an axis in the direction, so that the pressure transducer is capable of having a O-point adjustment and a magnetic sensitivity adjustment made independently of each other without interaction between the two when the transducer is assembled.

Abstract: A pressure converter which comprises a cylindrical main body consisting of an outer casing portion and an inner casing portion, said outer casing having a pressure inlet and being divided by a diaphragm into an air-tight chamber above the diaphragm and an operation chamber below the diaphragm, a piston supported by a pair of annular spring plates within the operation chamber for vertical movement and having an engaging member provided at one end, a stopper interposed between the spring plates, a magnetic resistance provided in a lower portion of the operation chamber to produce output voltage which varies depending upon the position of a permanent magnet positioned on a movable member in opposition to the magnetic resistance and a spring anchored to the inner casing portion and the movable member to normally bias the movable member to engage the piston.
