The SKF TKES is an optical inspection instrument for looking inside machinery and components that are not visible from the outside. It lets you check gears, bearings, cavities and ducts while the equipment stays assembled. We supply it within our line of mounting and maintenance tools.

Reading the code: TKES is the family name for these SKF borescopes. The digit that follows points to the base model, while the -C ending and its final number describe how that unit is configured, since probe length, tip diameter or included accessories can change from one version to another. TKES 1-C2, TKES 1-C3 and TKES 1-C5, for example, sit on the same base and are told apart by that last figure. The reliable way to identify yours is to copy the complete code from the unit or from its documentation.

Where they are used: maintenance teams rely on them for predictive and corrective work in food processing, petrochemical, cement, steel and power generation plants. Typical jobs include looking inside gearboxes, motors, pumps, compressors and piping to spot wear, corrosion, cracks or built-up residue. They also serve when verifying assemblies and in quality control of cast or machined parts.

What to check before choosing: probe diameter, the length required to reach the inspection point, field of view and light source. Certain versions add articulation so the tip can be steered, which helps in complex cavities. Power supply and connection type also vary by model. Before each use, confirm the probe is clean and free of impacts, and keep it in its case so the optics are not damaged.

SKF TKES borescopes exist in several versions depending on market and year of manufacture, so they do not always interchange. When replacing an existing unit, compare the technical data: diameter, length, lighting type and accessories. We can point you to suitable options within the same SKF line while respecting your application. Not every -C ending is equivalent, so verifying the exact code is worthwhile.

If you already know which borescope you need, send the code by WhatsApp or email and we will prepare the quote. If you are unsure, describe what you need to inspect and we will help you choose. We serve customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.
