Abstract: A pressure gauge glow plug for a diesel engine having a plug body, a heating element, and a pressure sensor, which is positioned under pretension between the heating element and the plug body in such a way that the pressure sensor experiences the pressure existing in the combustion chamber of the cylinder in which it is inserted. The heating element is positioned so that it may be slid in an axial direction in the plug body and transmits the pressure in the combustion chamber of the cylinder to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is positioned on a heating element support that is permanently bonded to the heating element in a cap that permanently bonded to the plug body. The heating element support and pressure sensor form a unit that has axial play in the interior of the cap.

Abstract: A temperature sensor is provided which includes a measurement element, which changes its electrical resistance when the temperature changes. The measurement element is located in a protective sleeve, which may be provided with openings. A terminal-side area of the measurement element including its terminals and the surrounding area of the protective sleeve is potted in a temperature-resistant, electrically nonconductive material. The terminals are connected directly to two conductors within a jacketed tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing unit for a fuel pressure sensor for sealing an at least virtually flat sealing joint between the sensor and a component that carries it via a screw connection, wherein a round sealing washer with a central bore is disposed between the threaded bolt-shaped end of the sensor housing with its central sensor bore and the bottom of the threaded bore of the component with its central pressure fluid opening. A pin is formed onto the threaded bolt-shaped end of the sensor housing, which pin centers the sealing washer, fixing it in a positive and/or frictional, non-positive manner, and rises above an end face that serves as a bearing surface for the sealing washer. The pin ends in an end face and has a length that is shorter than the thickness of the sealing washer. A sealing unit is produced that assures a reliable sealing function and permits a simple installation and disassembly of the sealing washer while reclaiming the sealing washer in a sealing position.
