The inside of the non-deformable portion 15 has a hollow portion 16 having the same size as the pressure chamber 13. Reference numeral 17 denotes an amorphous magnetic alloy bonded on the deformed portion 14 and the non-deformed portion 15 on the outer circumference of the main body 11. Reference numeral 18 denotes a pressure detecting coil, which is arranged outside the amorphous magnetic alloy 17 adhered on the outer periphery of the deformed portion 14 via a bobbin 19 and functions as a magnetic permeability detecting element together with the yoke 21. Reference numeral 20 denotes a differential coil having the same configuration as the pressure detection coil 18, which is arranged outside the amorphous magnetic alloy 17 adhered on the outer periphery of the non-deformed portion 15 via the bobbin 19 and together with the yoke 21 of the magnetic permeability detection element.

The pressure is transmitted from the pressure introduction port 12 to the pressure chamber 13, and stress is applied in the direction in which the pressure chamber 13 is expanded. As a result, the deformed portion 14
Fluctuates, and the magnetic permeability of the amorphous magnetic alloy 17 adhered to the surface changes. This change in permeability is detected by the pressure detection coil 18 as a change in inductance, and the change in pressure is obtained from the differential output from the differential coil 20.

In such a conventional pressure sensor, the zero-point drift due to the temperature change due to the non-uniformity of the adhesive amount between the amorphous magnetic alloy 17 and the main body 11 is relative to the sensor output sensitivity width. It was as large as about 20%. That is, in the main body having the above-described configuration, if the amount of adhesive between the main body and the amorphous magnetic alloy is uneven depending on the location, excess adhesive cannot escape and solidifies with uneven thickness. However, the stress state applied to the deformed portion and the non-deformed portion becomes non-uniform, which causes a problem that the zero-point drift fluctuates.

The Fe-Si-B-Cr system amorphous magnetic alloy 17 having a thickness of 0.03 mm is adhered to the recessed deformed portion 14 and the non-deformed portion 15 with an imide adhesive at 250 ° C for 2 hours so as to cover the recessed deformed portion 14 and the non-deformed portion 15. However, the excess adhesive escapes into the space of the step 2 and is fixed by the adhesive having a uniform thickness.
