Abstract: A system for measuring axial shift and radial gap of rotating components of gas turbine engines, such as gas turbine engine, may comprise sensors (702), controller (704), and a display system (706). Sensors (702) may comprise one or more BTC probes (300). The sensors may output sensor data (708) to the controller. The sensor data may comprise a time varying signal with respect to a voltage (i.e., a time variant voltage signal). The peak voltage of the time variant voltage signal may be a function of the distance between the target (e.g., a blade tip) and the sensor. The voltage signal function for a target distance (e.g., a gap such as gap 215) may vary dependent upon target axial position. A method (1000) of determining the position of a rotating component comprises the following steps: the controller receives sensor data comprising a first time variant voltage signal (step 1002) from the BTC probe; the controller extracts a first pulse width and a second pulse width from the sensor data (step 1004); the controller determines an axial position of a rotating target (such as, for example, blade tips 900, knife edge seal 908, or knife edge seal 912) based on the variance between the first pulse width and the second pulse width (step 1006); the controller selects a voltage-distance curve based on the first pulse width and the second pulse width (step 1008); the controller determines a radial position of the rotating target based on the voltage component of the first time voltage signal and the voltage distance curve (step 1010).
