Drucksensor und Kraftsensor

The proposal describes a pressure sensor which has a diaphragm held by a support, said diaphragm comprising a diaphragm reinforcement area mainly arranged in the middle, the thickness measurement of which is greater than the thickness measurement of the diaphragm, and an electrical converting device which converts a mechanical deformation of the diaphragm into a change in electrical parameter. The pressure sensor is characterized by the fact that the diaphragm has two further diaphragm reinforcement areas each having a larger thickness measurement than that of the diaphragm, said diaphragm reinforcement areas being spaced from the edge of the diaphragm and arranged in such a way that the first central diaphragm reinforcement area is situated between the two other diaphragm reinforcement areas, and at least one electrical converting device is arranged in an area of the diaphragm between the diaphragm reinforcement areas and/or between the diaphragm edge and the adjacent diaphragm reinfo rcement area
