  The center of the betatron oscillation in storage rings shifts as the amplitude of the oscillation increases. This effect is produced by non-linear components like sextupole magnets with its first-order perturbation. This shift can be observed as the shift of the closed orbit with usual slow beam position monitor (BPM) for closed orbit measurement. At the SPring-8 storage ring, the insertion devices (IDs) have their dedicated BPMs for monitoring the beam axis in the IDs. If some amount of the shift of beam axis is observed, the beam is aborted to avoid the damage by the irradiation of the ring components by ID radiation. When a betatron oscillation is excited by a beam transverse instability, the beam axis also oscillates and might produce the damage. Though it is not easy to detect the oscillation amplitude in various bunch current and filling patterns like in SPring-8, the oscillation produces the shift of the center of the betatron oscillation and can be observed by the BPM of IDs, and the beam is aborted. Calculation, tracking simulation and observation will be reported.
