Elesa+Ganter 11196 HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NC-M12 Oil Electrical Level Indicator

Product Description

The Elesa+Ganter 11196 HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NC-M12 oil electrical level indicator is a technical component developed for oil level visibility and electrical monitoring in hydraulic systems. It combines a column-style transparent level indicator with sensors that react to minimum oil level and the preset maximum temperature point.

This version uses a normally closed contact. In practical terms, the contact opens when the minimum level is reached or when the oil temperature reaches the preset 80°C threshold. For many machine builders and maintenance teams, this logic is useful in fail-aware control designs where a change in contact state must be detected quickly.

Key Technical Characteristics

The HCV.127 configuration is associated with M12 connection and a 127 mm mounting format, making it suitable for compact but visible reservoir installations. The transparent technopolymer body is engineered to improve oil visibility, while the lens effect helps operators read the level more easily during inspections.

The ultrasonic welded construction contributes to sealing performance. This matters in hydraulic environments where leaks, vibration, heat, and contamination can compromise long-term machine efficiency. The axial connector arrangement also supports organized cable routing when the component is mounted on tanks or machine-side panels.

Industrial Use Cases

The Elesa+Ganter 11196 HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NC-M12 oil electrical level indicator is relevant for hydraulic power packs, industrial presses, lubrication systems, gear units, machine tools, and processing equipment. It gives operators a direct view of the oil level while also allowing the machine control system to receive an electrical warning signal.

Good oil monitoring supports better uptime planning. Instead of relying only on manual checks, teams can use level and temperature signals to identify abnormal conditions earlier. That makes this component valuable in preventive maintenance workflows and industrial reliability programs.

Elesa+Ganter 11196 FAQ

What is the difference between NC and NO versions?

NC means normally closed, so the contact opens when the minimum level or temperature threshold condition is reached. NO versions work in the opposite contact logic.

Does this model monitor temperature?

Yes. It provides an electrical signal when the preset maximum temperature threshold is reached.

Is the indicator suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?

Yes, it is designed for oil level monitoring applications such as hydraulic reservoirs and lubrication systems.

Why is visual level checking still important?

Visual checking helps technicians confirm the actual fluid level directly, while the electrical signal supports automated alerts and machine protection.

Can it support preventive maintenance?

Yes. Minimum level and temperature signalling can help teams detect risk conditions before they develop into equipment failure.
