Abstract
A monitoring system for a blowout preventer (BOP) of a mineral extraction system includes a sensor assembly having a housing, a rotatable wheel supported within the housing, wherein the rotatable wheel extends from the housing to enable linear movement of a movable component of the BOP to drive rotation of the rotatable wheel. The sensor assembly also includes an encoder configured to detect rotation of the rotatable wheel and to generate a signal indicative of the rotation of the rotatable wheel to enable determination of a position of the movable component of the BOP.
