Abstract

See full text

A sensor element for use in a backing sensor to monitor a gas turbine shaft. The sensor includes an oscillator circuit 30 having an oscillator and a resonance circuit 42, and a frequency detector 31 for monitoring the frequency of the oscillation circuit. Abnormal movement of the shaft cuts the circuit in the sensor along a cutting line (15). The cutting of the sensor changes the capacitance and/or inductance of the resonance circuit and thereby changes the frequency of oscillation.
