Abstract: An inductive eddy current sensor, for use for example for measuring the speed of a turbine by detecting the passage of turbine blades (21) past a probe incorporating the sensor, includes a magnet (23) positioned so that the blades (21) pass through the flux pattern generated by the magnet (23). At least one pick-up coil (28) devoid of a core of soft magnetic is positioned alongside the magnet to pick up signals generated by eddy currents generated in the turbine blades as they cut through the flux pattern, without thereby altering the flux pattern. In a modified arrangement, the pick-up coil surrounds the magnet, again without affecting the flux pattern.

Abstract: A transformer probe (1) for sensing movement of a body (13) of magnetic material, comprising a probe piece (3), a primary coil (2) inductively coupled to the pole piece (3), and a transformer secondary coil (7) inductively coupled to the primary coil (2). The transformer secondary coil (7) is a conductor (5) wound around a core 96) with the wound conductor (5) and core (6) forming a combined secondary transformer coil and transformer core wound around the primary coil (2).
