Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0173090A1] 1. A pressure transducer for a pressure switch or a regulator, comprising a pressure-loadable sensing element (12), which is coupled under the influence of a bimetallic element (38) to an actuating member (18, 48) for actuating at least one switching contact (28) or to a measuring transducer (46) for the delivery of a constant output signal, characterized in that the sensing element (12) is loaded by a spring (22), which is arranged in series with the bimetallic element (38).
