Abstract (en)

[origin: US4522220A] A diaphragm module for pneumatic control systems comprises at least a pressure comparing stage and a force/pressure transducer controlled by said stage. The design of said module comprises chambers in a housing divided by diaphragms, wherein the force transmission between the diaphragms is achieved by intermediately arranged diaphragm disks. For a low friction mounting of the diaphragm disks in the housing without fixation with the intermediately arranged diaphragms the module comprises the following design: The diaphragm disks (36-39) comprise central pin projections (40) and recesses (44), wherein the pin projection of a diaphragm disk each is inserted into a recess of an adjacent diaphragm disk via a central hole (35) provided in the comparing or tightening diaphragm (31, 33, 34), respectively; the housing (11-16) and the diaphragm disk (36-39) comprise annular ribs (42) which are pressed into the diaphragms (30-34) for tightening when pressure is applied; and at least two diaphragm disks (36-39) comprise in their plane surfaces concentric annular grooves (43) which are engaged by annular collars (41) of related diaphragms (FIG. 1).
