DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING A ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT, IN PARTICULAR A ROTATIONAL DIRECTION, AND FOR DETECTING A SHAFT BREAK
First Claim
1. A turbomachine with at least one rotatable shaft and at least one device for measuring a rotational movement of a rotatable structural component, in particular of the shaft, wherein the device comprises a receiver and a first pattern carrier that has at least one pattern site, wherein the device comprises a second pattern carrier with at least one pattern site, wherein the pattern carriers are respectively connectable or connected to a rotatable structural component, so that they are rotatable together with the same about a rotational axis with respect to the receiver in such a manner that the pattern site of the first pattern carrier is positioned in congruence with the pattern site of the second pattern carrier, and wherein the receiver is embodied and configured for detecting whether or not the pattern sites are positioned in congruence with one another.

Abstract
A turbomachine with at least one rotatable shaft and at least one device for measuring a rotational movement of a rotatable structural component), in particular of the shaft, is provided. The device has a receiver and a first pattern carrier that has at least one pattern site. Here, the device comprises a second pattern carrier with at least one pattern site, wherein the pattern carriers are respectively connectable or connected to the rotatable structural component, so that they are rotatable together with the same about a rotational axis with respect to the receiver, namely in such a manner that the pattern site of the first pattern carrier is positioned in congruence with the pattern site of the second pattern carrier, and wherein the receiver is embodied and configured for detecting whether or not the pattern sites are positioned in congruence with one another.
