Abstract

A current-to-pressure transducer that is insensitive to shock employs a magnetic fluid that deforms a flexible diaphragm in response to an electrical input current that is applied to a coil and magnetic circuit. The deformed diaphragm varies the air space between the diaphragm and a nozzle connected to the air line so that the pressure within the air line is effectively controlled.
