  • Patent number: 6626045
    Abstract: A pressure measurement device comprising a housing enclosing an elastic pressure measurement element and a magnet attached to the measurement element. First and second Hall sensors operatively positioned near the magnet are connected to an electrical circuit which processes the sensor outputs to provide first and second output signals. The positions of the Hall sensors can preferably each be adjusted from outside the housing.

  • Publication number: 20020023501
    Abstract: A pressure measurement device comprises an elastic measurement element (12), which can be acted upon by the pressure to be measured, a measurement element housing (2), on which the measurement element is attached, and a magnet (18), which is attached to the measurement element and which is moved by the measurement element in reaction to a change of the pressure acting upon the measurement element along a substantially rectilinear path of movement. The pressure measurement device further comprises a first Hall sensor (38), which is arranged to the side near the magnet outside its path of movement, an electronic circuit, to which the Hall sensor is electrically connected and which processes the sensor output voltage of the first Hall sensor into a first output signal of the pressure measurement device, and a sensor carrier (22), which supports the Hall sensor and is attached to the measurement element housing.
