Elesa+Ganter 11051 HCV.76-E-NO-M10 Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 11051 HCV.76-E-NO-M10 electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems that require visible oil level control and an electrical signal when the minimum fluid level is reached. This makes it suitable for machinery where low oil level detection is part of safe operation, preventive maintenance, and equipment protection.

Technical Overview

This product belongs to the HCV.76-E series and uses a 76 mm mounting centre distance with an M10 connection format. The E version includes a minimum level electrical sensor, while the NO designation refers to a normally open contact configuration. When used correctly within the system design, this allows a control circuit or monitoring device to respond when the oil level reaches the defined minimum threshold.

The transparent technopolymer body enables visual level inspection. This is helpful for operators who need a quick and direct way to check oil condition during routine maintenance. The lens-effect viewing area improves readability, including from side positions, which is useful in confined machine layouts.

Why Minimum Level Detection Matters

Low oil level can lead to pump damage, poor lubrication, overheating, air intake, and unstable hydraulic performance. The Elesa+Ganter 11051 HCV.76-E-NO-M10 electrical level indicator helps reduce these risks by combining a visual indicator with an electrical low-level signal. This supports faster response and better maintenance planning.

For industrial users, this type of component is often selected when manual inspection alone is not enough. It gives maintenance teams a practical way to combine human observation with machine-level feedback.

Application Areas

This indicator is commonly used in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, machine tools, compact hydraulic power units, industrial presses, and automation equipment. It is particularly useful where oil level must be checked regularly and where low-level conditions should be detected before machine performance is affected.

Elesa+Ganter 11051 FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 11051 used for?

It is used to visually monitor hydraulic oil level and provide an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached.

What does NO mean in HCV.76-E-NO-M10?

NO means normally open, referring to the electrical contact configuration used for the minimum level signal.

Is this product suitable for hydraulic reservoirs?

Yes. It is specifically relevant for hydraulic tanks and reservoirs where oil level visibility and low-level signalling are required.

How does this indicator support equipment protection?

It helps identify low oil level conditions that could otherwise lead to pump wear, overheating, or poor hydraulic performance.

Can operators still read the oil level manually?

Yes. The transparent technopolymer body allows direct visual inspection while the electrical sensor adds an extra monitoring function.
