ABSTRACT:
A gas or fluid pressure or force sensor is disclosed consisting of a fluid-tight housing containing a supply of electrochemically active gas and an electrolytic membrane disposed to divide the housing into two chambers. The electrolytic membrane has one or more pervious electrodes disposed on each side of and in contact with the membrane. A flexible bellows or diaphragm is disposed to form one wall of the fluid-tight housing and provide the contacting surface for transferring a force or pressure to the sensor. A controller is connected to display measurements and to permit automatic sensor calibration, differential pressure-induced diffusion compensation, temperature compensation and sensor chamber pressure control. The disclosed force sensor is useful for application to robotic manipulators and the basic device is useful for measurement of the gas partial-pressure of a selected gas.
