  • Publication number: 20200256738
    Abstract: The sensor assembly of the present disclosure comprises a temperature detector and a support element having a middle segment, a first end segment and a second end segment. A coupling body couples the temperature detector thermally conductively with the support element. The temperature detector and coupling body are connected by material bonding and arranged on a first surface of the support element. The coupling body is connected with the support element by material bonding to form a coupling body to support element connection zone. Additionally, a smallest bending stiffness, which the middle segment has in the region of the coupling body to support element connection zone, is greater than a smallest bending stiffness, which the support element has, as a whole, and/or greater than a smallest bending stiffness, which the first end segment has, and/or greater than a smallest bending stiffness, which the second end segment has.

  • Publication number: 20200251265
    Abstract: The coil comprises a coil carrier, a coil wire at least partially surrounded by an insulating layer and wound around the coil carrier, as well as a protective cover layer at least partially covering the coil wire wound around the coil carrier. The coil wire is composed, at least partially, of silver, the insulating layer surrounding the coil wire is composed, at least partially, of a ceramic material, and the protective cover layer is composed, at least partially, of a ceramic material and/or a glass.

  • Publication number: 20200166397
    Abstract: A mass flow measuring sensor includes: an oscillatable measuring tube bent in a tube plane; an oscillation exciter for exciting bending oscillations in a bending oscillation use-mode; two oscillation sensors for registering oscillations; a support system; and a measuring sensor housing; wherein the support system has support system oscillation modes, including elastic deformations of the support plate; wherein the support plate is cut to form a number of spirally shaped spring securements, via which the support plate is secured to the measuring sensor housing with oscillation degrees of freedom, whose eigenfrequencies are lower than a use-mode eigenfrequency of the bending oscillation use-mode, wherein the use-mode eigenfrequency is lower than the eigenfrequencies of the support system oscillation modes, wherein a calibration factor describes a proportionality between a mass flow through the measuring tube and a phase difference between oscillations of the measuring tube oscillating in the bending oscillation

  • Publication number: 20200124453
    Abstract: A mass flow sensor includes: a vibratory measurement tube bent in a tube plane; a vibration exciter for exciting bending vibrations in a bending vibration use-mode; two vibration sensors for sensing vibrations; a support system having a support plate, bearing bodies on the inlet and sides; and a sensor housing, wherein: the support system has support system vibration modes which include elastic deformations of the support plate; the measurement tube is connected fixedly to the support plate by the bearing body on the inlet side and by the bearing body on the outlet side; and the support plate has a number of spring-loaded bearings exposed through cut-outs in the support plate by which the support plate is mounted on the sensor housing with degrees of vibrational freedom, the natural frequencies of which are lower than a use-mode natural frequency of the bending vibration use-mode.
