Abstract
A sensor for detecting relative movement between two adjacent components includes a first member, a second member rotatable about an axis relative to the first member, and a fuse element including a first electrical contactor connected to the first member and a second electrical contactor connected to the second member. When the first member and the second member are skewed, the first electrical contactor and the second electrical contactor are not in electrical contact.
