Elesa+Ganter 11195-KN HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NO-M12-KN Oil Electrical Level Indicator
Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 11195-KN HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NO-M12-KN oil electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic and lubrication systems where visual oil level checking must be supported by reliable electrical monitoring. This model belongs to the HCV.127-E-ST-AX family and combines a transparent column level indicator with electrical signalling for minimum oil level and maximum temperature control.
Its normally open contact configuration is intended to close when the oil level reaches the minimum threshold or when the preset temperature limit of 80°C is reached. This makes the component suitable for applications where maintenance teams need a clear signal before low oil level or overheating can affect system reliability.
Design and Application Benefits
The transparent technopolymer body helps operators inspect the fluid level quickly, even from side positions. The lens effect improves readability, while ultrasonic welding supports sealing performance in demanding industrial environments. The M12 connection format is practical for structured machine wiring and helps simplify integration into control panels, alarm circuits, and preventive maintenance systems.
Because this model is part of the HCV.127 range, it is commonly associated with 127 mm mounting dimensions and a compact format for reservoirs, hydraulic power units, industrial machinery, and oil tanks. The axial connector layout can be useful where cable routing space is planned around the tank wall or machine frame.
Why It Matters in Oil Monitoring
In hydraulic systems, oil level is not just a visual maintenance point. Low oil level may lead to air intake, unstable pressure, pump wear, excessive heat, and avoidable downtime. A component such as the Elesa+Ganter 11195-KN HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NO-M12-KN oil electrical level indicator helps maintenance teams connect physical tank visibility with automated machine awareness.

Elesa+Ganter 11195-KN FAQ
What is the main function of this level indicator?
It allows visual oil level inspection and provides an electrical signal when the oil level reaches the minimum threshold or when the preset maximum temperature is reached.
What does NO mean in this model?
NO means normally open. In this configuration, the contact closes when the monitored limit condition occurs.
Where is this product typically used?
It is typically used on oil tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, industrial machines, and systems that require both visual checking and electrical condition monitoring.
Why is the M12 connector important?
The M12 connector supports practical industrial wiring, easier installation, and cleaner integration with machine control systems.
Is this product only for visual inspection?
No. It supports visual inspection and electrical signalling, making it more useful than a purely mechanical sight level indicator.
