Elesa+Ganter 11197 HCV.127-E-STL-AX-NO-M12 Oil Electrical Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 11197 HCV.127-E-STL-AX-NO-M12 oil electrical level indicator is designed for applications that require visual oil level checking, minimum level signalling, and analog oil temperature feedback. Unlike ST versions that signal a preset maximum temperature point, the STL configuration provides an analog electrical signal related to oil temperature.

This model uses a normally open contact for the minimum level sensor. When the oil level reaches the minimum threshold, the contact closes. This contact behaviour is often preferred where the control circuit is designed to react to an active closing signal during a low-level condition.

Elesa+Ganter 11197 HCV.127-E-STL-AX-NO-M12 Indicator Design Features

The indicator uses a transparent technopolymer body to improve oil level visibility during routine inspection. The lens effect supports easier reading, while the welded construction is intended to help maintain sealing performance. In industrial environments, these details matter because oil reservoirs are often exposed to vibration, temperature changes, and frequent service checks.

The M12 connector supports practical wiring and integration into control cabinets or machine monitoring systems. The HCV.127 format is commonly linked with a 127 mm mounting arrangement, making the product suitable for reservoirs where a balance of visibility and compact installation is required.

Best-Fit Applications

The Elesa+Ganter 11197 HCV.127-E-STL-AX-NO-M12 oil electrical level indicator is relevant for hydraulic units, lubrication systems, machine tools, presses, oil circulation systems, and industrial tanks. Its analog temperature feedback can support better process awareness because operators are not limited to a single high-temperature switching point.

Temperature trends can reveal early signs of overload, poor cooling, contamination, or lubrication inefficiency. When combined with minimum level detection, this product gives a more complete view of oil condition inside the system.

Elesa+Ganter 11197 HCV.127-E-STL-AX-NO-M12 Indicator FAQ

What makes the STL version different?

The STL version provides an analog electrical signal for oil temperature, while also supporting minimum level electrical signalling.

What does NO mean on this model?

NO means normally open. The contact closes when the minimum level condition is reached.

Does this model provide visual level checking?

Yes. It includes a transparent column for direct oil level inspection.

Where is analog temperature feedback useful?

It is useful in systems where monitoring temperature trends is important, such as hydraulic power units, lubrication circuits, and continuous-duty machinery.

Why is combined oil level and temperature monitoring important?

Oil level and temperature are closely linked to machine reliability. Monitoring both can help detect abnormal operating conditions before they cause downtime.
