Best Answer

No these are two different sensors.

The thrust bearing temperature trip device measures either the metal temperature of the bearing, or the oil temperature exiting the bearing, or both. If this temperature exceeds recommended temperatures by 10 to 15% the turbine will trip to avoid damaging the bearings or shaft.

The rotor position sensor is a proximity cell that monitors the axial position of the turbine rotor, often there is four such sensors mounted at the end of the rotor, if the distance between the sensors and the rotors exceeds a specific distance ( often 15-30 mils) the sensors indicate a failure, if two or three sensors indicate failure the turbine will trip.
