The conversion of the pressure to the electrical signal is done by the physical deformation of the strain gauge, and the strain gauge is bonded to the diaphragm of the pressure sensor and wired into a Wheatstone bridge structure. The pressure exerted on a high-frequency pressure sensor causes the diaphragm to flex, which causes the strain gauge to strain. The strain will change the resistance that occurs with the pressure into shares.
Millivolt output
Sensors with millivolt output are usually more economical pressure sensors. The output of the millivolt sensor is nominally about 30mV. The actual output is proportional to the input power or encouragement of the high-frequency pressure sensor. If the encouragement is shaken, the output will also change.
Because of this dependence on the encouragement level, regulated power supplies are advocated for millivolt sensors. Because the output signal is weak, the sensor should not be placed in an electrically noisy environment. A relatively short distance should also be maintained between the sensor and the secondary instrument.
Voltage output
The voltage output sensor has an integral signal conditioning function, allowing it to produce a higher output than a millivolt sensor. The output is usually 0-5VDC or 0-10VDC. The output of the sensor is usually not a direct function of the power supply, which means that the regulated power supply only needs to fall within the specified power supply range.
Because of their high output levels, these sensors are not as easily affected by electrical noise as millivolt sensors, allowing them to be used in more industrial environments.
4-20mA output
This type of output sensor is also known as a pressure transmitter. Because 4-20mA signals are minimally affected by electrical noise and resistance, they are best used when signals need to be transmitted over long distances. In applications with a connection length of more than 300 meters, only sensors with this type of output can be used.
Extended: Signs of overload of high-frequency pressure sensors:
A common sign of sensor overload is an offset from the zero point reading, which is usually added. It may read 5-6 mA, or even higher, or even full, with a maximum of about 24 mA.
In summary, the mV output should be the primary consideration for the use of higher temperatures. For industrial environments where unregulated power supplies may be used, the voltage output is sufficient; For applications that require signal transmission over long distances, 4-20mA transmitters are ideal.

Sensors, temperature sensors, RTDs and thermocouples – ifm
RTDs and thermocouples are the most commonly used temperature sensing elements for temperature sensors. The operating principle of thermocouple temperature sensor is that the two ends of the contact surface of two kinds of incompatible metals produce a weak and weak voltage when the temperature is inconsistent, and the temperature is measured by expanding the electric, which is not necessary to measure the high temperature. RTD Temperature Sensors ...

Differential pressure sensor function – ifm sensors
A differential pressure sensor is a sensor used to measure the difference between two pressures, usually used to measure the pressure difference between the front and rear ends of a device or component.
A typical application of differential pressure sensors is to measure the difference in exhaust pressure between the front and rear channels of the exhaust particulate trap of a passenger car engine.

The reason why the output signal of the photoelectric sensor is unstable
Photoelectric switch (photoelectric sensor) is the abbreviation of photoelectric proximity switch, which uses the shielding or reflection of the beam by the detected object to connect the circuit by the synchronous loop to detect the presence or absence of the object. When the photoelectric sensor outputs the signal, the signal is occasionally unstable, and many people do not know what to do.
