Abstract
A bolt sensor assembly provides a body adapted for insertion into a hole in a component, the body having a first end and a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The first end includes an attachment means for attachment of the bolt sensor assembly to the component, and the second end mounts a sensor element, such as a strain gauge element. The sensor element is movable with respect to the body in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body and the sensor element is constrained against rotation about the longitudinal axis with respect to the body.
