Abstract (en)

[origin: US4625139A] An electro-pneumatic signal converter is provided with a piezo-electric bending element (3) disposed in a sealed transmitter casing (1) from which a signal output (4) issues. It controls a pneumatic signal transmitter which consists of an air inlet seating (5) and an air outlet seating (6) provided opposite each other in the transmitter casing (1). The piezo-electric bending element (3) is pretensioned against the air inlet seating (5) by a spring. In order to improve its retention and guiding, the piezo-electric bending element (3) is disposed in a chamber (2) which closely surrounds it in the transmitter casing (1), in which support zones (14, 16) spaced-apart in the axial direction are provided for the bending element (3), and in addition the piezo-electric bending element (3) is retained and urged against the support zones (14, 16) by a guide spring (7) fixed in the transmitter casing (1).
