TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for measuring deflection of rotating members, such as the blades of a turbomachinery stage, is provided, where the rotating member is illuminated with a high intensity light beam such as a laser, at least one location upon the member where deflection is to be determined.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring deflection of rotating members, such as the blades of a turbomachinery stage, are provided. The rotating member is illuminated with a high intensity light beam, such as a laser, at least one location upon the member where deflection is to be determined. Another location which serves as a reference is also illuminated in a similar manner. As the rotating member passes through the light beams, the light beams are reflected from reflective patches, thereby producing light impulses which are received by a light measuring device. The light pulses are converted to electrical impulses, the time increment between pulses being a function of the distance between the two locations and, thus, a measure of deflection. The dynamic component of blade-to-blade vibration is determined by comparing the time increments for a plurality of blades in the stage.
