*This is the most common application. The probe measures the dynamic movement (vibration) of rotating shafts relative to their bearings. This helps detect imbalances, misalignment, bearing defects (especially on fluid-film bearings), rubs,and other mechanical issues that cause shaft vibration.

The probe measures the static and dynamic axial (thrust) position of a rotor relative to its thrust bearings.

Phase Reference: Providing a reference point for analyzing vibration data in terms of phase, which is crucial for diagnosing specific machinery malfunctions (e.g., unbalance, misalignment).

Turbine Overspeed Protection: In some cases, these probes can be used for overspeed protection, though Bently Nevada recommends consulting specific application notes for this critical function.
