  • Sensor device for measuring a fluid pressure, and method for manufacturing a sensor device
    Patent number: 12392675
    Abstract: A sensor device, at least for measuring a fluid pressure, has a base body and has a fibre optic sensor unit which includes one or more sensor elements(s) which is in the form of a light conducting fibre and which extends along a longitudinal extension of the base body at least substantially helically around the base body. A transmission unit, which is arranged in at least one measuring range around the base body and the one or more sensor elements(s), receives a fluid from an environment and transmits a fluid pressure to the sensor unit for a deformation of the at least one sensor element.

  • SENSOR DEVICE FOR MEASURING A FLUID PRESSURE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A SENSOR DEVICE
    Publication number: 20250109999
    Abstract: A sensor device, at least for measuring a fluid pressure, has a base body and has a fibre-optic sensor unit which includes at least one sensor element which is in the form of a light-conducting fibre and which extends along a longitudinal extension of the base body at least substantially helically around the base body, wherein a transmission unit, which is arranged in at least one measuring range around the base body and the at least one sensor element, is configured to receive a fluid from an environment and to transmit a fluid pressure to the sensor unit for a deformation of the at least one sensor element.
