From aviation to automotive and medical equipment to manufacturing systems, piezoresistive pressure sensors provide reliable solutions in a wide array of industries. Piezoresistive literally means electromechanical. Pressure exerted on the sensor causes a mechanical deflection of the silicon diaphragm.

Below are some selected applications, by industry, for which our sensors have potential application:

Automotive

• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP), High Altitude Compensator (HAC), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), transmission and power steering fluid, fuel rail, fuel level, engine coolant, engine oil, fuel-injection, turbo boost, vapor pressure (evaporative emissions), air/tire pressure, exhaust back pressure, air conditioning compressor, and braking.

Medical

• Inflation, blood pressure, intrauterine pressure, and drug infusion pump devices.

Industrial

• Measurement and control: refrigerant compressors, VAV (variable air volume), refrigerant recovery, HVAC fan control, building pressurization, leak detection systems, duct air flow, filter pressure drop, packaging, sealing, printing, instrumentation, and gauges.

Consumer

• Scuba – oxygen and depth measurement for watch and tank; Fishing – depth measurement and fish finding; Hiking – altitude measurement; and Other - recreational and competition applications.

Aviation/Defense

• Flight control surface positioning, auto-pilot, jet engine throttle and thrust reverser controls, auto-pilot input, landing gear steering and thrust vector control, turbine guide vane, valve controls, turbine actuators, and engine controls.
