Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC Fluid Level Control Kit for Reliable Tank Monitoring
The Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC fluid level control kit is designed for users who need dependable fluid level monitoring in hydraulic systems, lubrication units, and industrial reservoirs. This version is part of the SLCK family developed for HCK and HCK-GL column level indicators, adding an electrical switching function to the usual visual level check. In practical terms, that means operators can monitor the tank level visually and also receive an electrical signal when the fluid reaches a chosen intervention point. For maintenance teams, machine designers, and plant engineers, this creates a more controlled and predictable monitoring setup.
What Makes the 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC Different?
The key distinction of the Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC fluid level control kit is its contact arrangement: one normally open contact and one normally closed contact. This configuration gives engineers more flexibility when integrating the component into warning systems, machine shutdown logic, or status monitoring circuits. Because the sensor holder can be moved along the axis of the level indicator and locked in the preferred position, the switching point can be adapted to the application rather than forcing the application to adapt to the component.
Technical Features of the Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC Fluid Level Control Kit
This model is intended for use with HCK and HCK-GL column level indicators and can be applied on HCK versions from the 127 mm hole centre distance upward. The sensor uses a reed-based electrical contact and works together with a float that contains a magnetic element. In standard SLCK versions, the assembly is associated with applications up to 80°C, while the high-temperature SLCK-HT range is reserved for up to 120°C applications. The electrical characteristics published for the SLCK series include AC/DC power supply compatibility, a maximum applicable voltage of 230 Vac/Vdc, maximum current of 2 A, and maximum commutable power of 40 W/VA. The standard connector format in this version is the DIN 43650 C male connector, widely used in industrial fluid control systems.
Why Engineers Use It in Hydraulic and Industrial Systems
In many machines, a low or changing oil level is not just a maintenance issue; it can affect operating stability, component life, and unplanned downtime. The Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC fluid level control kit helps bring the level indicator into a wider machine control strategy. It is useful where a fluid level sensor, hydraulic oil level switch, or tank monitoring component is needed to support condition-based maintenance. Because the intervention point is adjustable, the component can suit tanks with different operating tolerances and refill strategies.
Another practical advantage is that the electrical control function does not eliminate the visual reading of the level indicator. That combination is useful in real industrial environments, where technicians still value a quick visual confirmation during inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NO-NC mean on the Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC fluid level control kit?
NO-NC means the kit includes one normally open contact and one normally closed contact. This gives more wiring flexibility for alarms, signal outputs, interlocks, or machine control logic.
Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC Where is the typically used?
This model is commonly used in hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, industrial reservoirs, and machinery where fluid level monitoring is important for equipment protection and operational continuity.
Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC Is the switching point fixed?
No. The sensor holder can be positioned along the axis of the indicator and secured where the user wants the intervention level to occur. That makes the system more adaptable in real installations.
Elesa+Ganter 110085-R SLCK-NO-NC Which level indicators is it compatible with?
The SLCK kit is designed for HCK and HCK-GL column level indicators. The manufacturer states that the electrical control can be applied on HCK versions starting from the 127 mm hole centre distance.
What are the electrical limits of the kit?
The published characteristics for the SLCK series include AC/DC power supply compatibility, a maximum applicable voltage of 230 Vac/Vdc, maximum current of 2 A, and maximum commutable power of 40 W/VA. These values should always be checked against the overall machine design before installation.
Is this version suitable for high-temperature environments?
The 110085-R belongs to the standard SLCK group rather than the SLCK-HT range. For applications up to 120°C, the HT version is generally the more suitable option.
