Pressure sensors, and methods of assembling pressure sensors, for dynamic, high pressure, hydraulic systems

A hydraulic system, comprising:

• a pressure sensor in fluid communication with the fluid volume, the pressure sensor comprising:
• a sensor cover;
• a sensor body positioned within the sensor cover, the sensor body comprising:
• a sensor base, 'a sensor tube connected to the sensor base and extending away from the sensor base to a sensor tube end, and
• a sensor fluid conduit extending through the sensor base and into the sensor tube, the sensor fluid conduit being in fluid communication with the fluid volume, and the sensor tube being configured to experience a deflection in response to a fluid pressure within the sensor fluid conduit,
• a circuit element bonded to the sensor tube, the circuit element having an electrical characteristic that is dependent upon the deflection of the sensor tube,
• a sensing circuit electrically connected to the circuit element, the sensing circuit being configured to determine the fluid pressure within the sensor fluid conduit based on the electrical characteristic of the circuit element, and
• an output connector configured to output an electrical signal representative of the fluid pressure determined by the sensing circuit.
