Description

Technical Field

[0002] The existing manufacturing method of Weigand sensors is usually to process the hysteresis alloy wire to reach specific process points, then encapsulate the hysteresis alloy wire into a glass tube with a collecting coil on the outer layer, and then connect the rear encoder through the pins on the plastic shell.

Once the outer layer of the glass tube is damaged, the coil will contact the internal hysteresis alloy wire, which will first cause the sensor to fail, and secondly, there is a risk of short circuit for the overall workpiece. The hysteresis alloy wire itself also has the possibility of being oxidized, and its performance will change after oxidation, affecting the use of the overall sensor. Summary of the Utility Model
