Pressure MeasurementTotal Capability for a World of Pressure

Established in 1972, Druck specialisesin the design and manufacture of pressure sensorsfor a wide range of applications,using micromachined silicon technology.

Silicon technology has a high profile and,despite the proliferation of silicon sensorsdesigned by other companies, Druck is anestablished world leader.

Druck has one of the most comprehensiveand technologically advanced siliconprocessing facilities. It is one of only a fewcompanies worldwide converting rawsilicon into finished products, by employingtechniques such as micromachining.

Multi-disciplined engineering teams areexperienced in the use of hybrids, ASICs,microprocessors and surface mounttechnology. Together with packagingdesign and other facets of engineering,Druck provide a complete solution forpressure measurement.

Silicon sensor technology providesexcellent performance characteristics and amodular design approach allows forflexibility of packaging to suit manydifferent applications.

Shown below is an example of sensorconstruction, silicon processing and also3D solid modelling design tools for fast andaccurate product development.


cdThe Druck Group comprises fourteensubsidiary companies and a global agencynetwork with development andmanufacturing operations inEurope and the USA.

To address a wide range of applicationsand markets, Druck has four productmarketing divisions. These groups arepressure sensors, portable calibrators,primary and secondary standards andAviation Ground Support Equipment.

In addition to the range of pressuresensors, some products from the otherdivisions are shown. Refer to Druck forassociated product guides and datasheets.
