SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR MONITORING A SCREW CONNECTION

A sensor arrangement (10) for monitoring a screw connection (12) between a first component (14) with external threads and a second component (18) with internal threads, wherein the second component (18) with internal threads is connectable with the first component (14) with external threads, comprises a magnetic field sensor (32) and a magnet (34). The magnetic field sensor (32) is inserted into the first component (14) with external threads, and the magnet (34) is integrated into the second component (18) with internal threads. The magnetic field sensor (32) and the magnet (34) are arranged and designed such that a change in the relative position (40a, 40b) between the magnet (34) and the magnetic field sensor (32) is detectable. The sensor arrangement (10) detects a manipulated state of the screw connection (12) upon detection of a change in the relative position (40a, 40b) between the magnet (34) and the magnetic field sensor (32).
