Elesa+Ganter HRT.40-60 Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter HRT.40-60 oil level indicator is engineered for visual fluid level monitoring in reservoirs with limited pressure. It belongs to the HRT series of push-fit oil level indicators and is especially relevant in hydraulic systems, lubrication units, compact tanks, and industrial machinery where operators need a clear, direct reading of the oil level.
What the HRT.40-60 Is Designed to Do
The primary role of the Elesa+Ganter HRT.40-60 oil level indicator is to let operators check lubricant or oil level quickly without opening the tank. In many industrial environments, this supports better preventive maintenance, cleaner inspections, and faster troubleshooting. When an oil level indicator is easy to read, routine checks become more consistent.
Technical Features of the Elesa+Ganter HRT.40-60 Oil Level Indicator
The HRT.40-60 version uses a polyamide-based technopolymer body with a transparent polyamide window. It also features a white lacquered aluminium contrast screen with a red level line for improved visibility. Sealing is provided by an NBR synthetic rubber O-ring, and the series is rated for a maximum continuous working temperature of 100°C.
For the HRT.40-60 size, the official dimensional data includes a mounting hole diameter of 60 mm, with key dimensions listed as A 11 mm, B 5.5 mm, D 64 mm, d 40 mm, and minimum wall thickness Smin 9 mm. The push-fit assembly is supported by optimized ribbing, which helps create a stable fit in suitable reservoir walls.
Why Push-Fit Level Indicators Are Popular
A push-fit oil level indicator can simplify installation and reduce assembly time. For the Elesa+Ganter HRT.40-60 oil level indicator, that matters in industrial settings where service efficiency and straightforward installation are priorities. The design is described as particularly suitable for reservoirs with limited pressure, which makes it relevant in many enclosed fluid systems.
Application Areas
This model is commonly considered for hydraulic power units, lubrication systems, machine tool reservoirs, agricultural equipment, processing machinery, and other industrial tanks where visual monitoring is required. Because the indicator provides an immediate visual reference, it helps reduce the risk of operating with insufficient fluid levels.

It is used to visually monitor fluid level inside a tank or reservoir without opening the system, helping operators perform fast and clean inspections.
What material is used for the body?
The body is made from polyamide-based technopolymer, while the viewing window is made from transparent technopolymer for clear level visibility.
How is sealing achieved?
Sealing is provided by an NBR synthetic rubber O-ring, which supports reliable fitment when installed correctly in the specified mounting hole.
What is the maximum continuous working temperature?
The official specification states a maximum continuous working temperature of 100°C.
Where is this oil level indicator usually installed?
It is typically installed on hydraulic tanks, lubrication reservoirs, machine housings, and industrial fluid containers where operators need a quick visual indication of the fluid level.
Why is the contrast screen important?
The white aluminium contrast screen with a red level line improves readability, helping users identify the oil level more easily during inspections and routine maintenance.
