Typical Thrust Position Probe Mounting; Typical Radial Vibration Probe Mounting - GE Bently Nevada 7200 Series Installation Manual

Section 1 - SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Figure 1-2. Typical Thrust Position Probe Mounting
This transducer system can also be mounted to measure radial vibration. Typically, two probes are
mounted 90 degrees apart along the radial axis of a shaft. This enables vibration to be analyzed at
all angles along the radial plane. Radial vibration probes should be mounted within 6 inches of the
bearing under surveillance. See Figure 1-3.
