Abstract

See full text

A pressure sensor is integrated upon a solenoid valve by attaching at least one micro-machined strain gauge to an end of the solenoid valve sleeve. The solenoid valve is included in a vehicle brake control system. As the hydraulic fluid pressure in the brake system changes, the end of the solenoid valve sleeve is deflected, causing a change in an electrical property of the strain gauge. The stain gauge is included in a bridge circuit that is electrically connected to a signal conditioning circuit. The signal conditioning circuit generates a pressure signal that is a function of the change in the electrical property of the strain gauge.
