ABSTRACT:
A pressure sensor for providing an electrical signal corresponding to pressure in a cylinder of an automotive engine has a rigid load-spreading element rigidly secured to a first surface of a ceramic piezoelectric body by a rigid bonding material precisely conformed to the first surface to be in substantially uniform load-transferring relation to all parts of the first body surface, has a rigid support member rigidly secured to a parallel, opposite surface of the ceramic piezoelectric body by a rigid bonding material precisely conformed to the opposite surface to be in substantially uniform load-transferring relation to all parts of the opposite body surface to form a piezoelectric unit, and has a peripheral part of the rigid support member precisely mounted with an interference fit in a bore in a metal component of a mounting structure so that the body of piezoelectric material and the load-spreading element extend in cantilever relation at a precisely determined location to be engaged by force applied through a diaphragm in response to an applied pressure to provide an electrical signal precisely corresponding to the pressure.
