ABSTRACT:
A machine has two relatively movable portions and relative movement between the portions is sensed by means generating an electric current. In the preferred embodiment this means comprises a permanent magnet on one portion and an induction coil and a soft-iron core on the other portion. The two portions are parts of an overload coupling interconnected with a shear pin. When the coupling is overloaded, a shear pin fractures and the two portions rotate relative to one another. This causes a current to be generated in the coil which actuates a signal element. The device provides a visual indication of the operative condition of the two portions.
