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
