Abstract
The invention relates to a pressure sensor (1) with a housing (2), a sensor device (4), a sensor fastening device (8, 8b) for fastening the sensor device (4) onto and/or in the front area of the housing (2), and a seal (7) for sealing the transitional area between the housing (2) and the sensor device (4), where the housing (2) exhibits an inside housing wall (2W) and the sensor device (4) exhibits an outside sensor device wall (4W), such that the housing wall (2W) and the sensor device wall (4W) run in adjacent fashion one to the other and exhibit between the housing wall (2W) and the sensor device (4W) a reception space (6) for receiving the seal (7). Small dimensions are advantageously achieved in that the sensor fastening device exhibits the reception space (6) and the seal (7), and the seal (7) between the housing wall (2W, 2W*) and the sensor wall (4W) is mounted in such a way that the seal (7) creates an effective force (F) in the direction of the housing wall (2W, 2W*) and the sensor wall (4W), and the two are braced against each other by the force (F). The invention also relates to a corresponding process for mounting a pressure sensor of this kind.
