ABSTRACT:
A device for detecting a bending magnitude of a rotary shaft comprises a first pair of coils spaced from and facing the outer surface of a shaft and having an inductance value, and a second pair of coils spaced from and facing the outer surface of the shaft and connected in series to the first pair of coils at respective nodal points. The second pair of coils has an inductance value different from the inductance value of the first pair of coils. A pair of high frequency oscillators applies a high frequency voltage across the first and second pairs of coils to generate at each of the nodal points an output signal corresponding to a bending magnitude of the shaft, each output signal having a constant linearity characteristic resulting from the difference in inductance value between the first and second pairs of coils. An amplifier is connected to each of the nodal points for amplifying the output signals from the nodal points. A synchronizing signal generator generates a synchronization signal, and a synchronizing detector is connected to each amplifier for detecting the amplified output signal from the amplifier based on the synchronization signal. A low-pass filter is connected to each of the synchronizing detectors for cutting a high frequency component from the output signal detected by the synchronizing detector and producing an output signal having a constant linearity characteristic.
