Abstract
An assembly for detecting wear of a vane of a rotary vane pump, the assembly comprising: a vane configured to be mounted in a radial slot of a rotor of a rotary vane pump, the vane having a vane body of non-electrically conductive material, the vane body having a radially outer end that, in use, extends to contact an electrically earthed housing of the rotor; an electrically conductive sensor element housed within the vane body, the sensor element being electrically connected to a positive electric potential (+) and having an electrically conductive tip that becomes exposed as the vane body radially outer end wears, to make electrical contact with the housing, in use, such as to create a closed electrical circuit between the positive potential and the earthed housing, to generate an electrical signal indicative of wear of the vane.
