A rolling mill strip tension monitoring assembly has a roll supporting structure which supports a plurality of pivotally mounted rolls. A sensor support is movably secured to the roll supporting means such that movement of the rolls other than axial rotational movement will effect a change in relative position between the noncontacting sensor array and the roll support. Sensors may consist of one or more elongated transducer array which may be of the induction type. Apparatus for comparing the position of a rolls with an adjacent roll may be employed. Apparatus for processing the signals.
