kmo probe holder KS016

KS016 is a robust, field-proven probe holder for reverse-mount eddy current probes in turbomachinery. It enables quick, reproducible, and reliable setup of the measurement point – even in challenging installation situations. Especially in overhauls, retrofits, and series applications, it reduces effort, sources of error, and variety of versions.

Non-contact measurement points securely managed from the start

The kmo KS016 probe holder ensures quick, reproducible, and reliable installation of reverse-mount eddy current probes.
Even in challenging installation situations, a stable and clearly defined measurement point is created – without improvisation.

Meticulously designed – developed for practical use

KS016 is more than a simple holder:
It forms the mechanically precise interface between machine and measurement system.

  • Finely adjustable setting sleeve for exact positioning
  • Defined reference surfaces for reproducible installation
  • Oil and vibration-proof design thanks to an O-ring system
  • Robust stainless steel construction for continuous use

Result: stable measurement conditions – regardless of installation situation and operator

Less effort. Fewer errors. More reliability.

KS016 reduces typical problems during the installation of eddy current probes:

  • no readjustment during reinstallation
  • reproducible GAP setting
  • reduced variety of versions through standardized sleeves
  • Protection against cable breakage and mechanical damage
  • Easy maintenance and quick replacement

Particularly in overhauls and retrofit projects, this results in significant time and quality gains

Built for harsh environments – and designed for practical use

KS016 is ideal for:

  • Sleeve-bearing machines, e.g., turbocompressors and other turbomachinery
  • Retrofits without machined reference surfaces
  • Applications requiring repeatability
  • Systems with oil, vibration, and limited installation space

Practical features:

  • Installation possible even without a machined surface (using a housing screw)
  • Reinstallation possible without re-adjustment
  • Compatible with commercially available reverse-mount probes

This is precisely where most errors occur in practice – and this is exactly where KS016 comes in
