Sputtered Thin-Film Pressure Sensors VORTORQ sputtered thin-film pressure sensors are developed for extreme industrial applications where long-term stability and high-cycle durability are critical. Utilizing a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, the strain gauge material is molecularly bonded to a high-strength stainless steel diaphragm. This atomic-level bond eliminates the use of internal O-rings, epoxies, or organic bonding agents, ensuring the sensor remains free from signal drift and material fatigue. Specifically engineered for high-pressure hydraulics, heavy-duty mobile machinery,
