Elesa+Ganter 11194 HCV.127-STL-AX-M12 Oil Electrical Level Indicator

Oil Level Indicator with Temperature Electrical Probe

The Elesa+Ganter 11194 oil electrical level indicator, listed as HCV.127-STL-AX-M12, is built for hydraulic reservoirs where operators need clear oil level visibility and temperature measurement support. Unlike simple visual indicators, this model includes a temperature electrical probe based on a platinum resistor.

The probe works by measuring resistance variation as temperature changes. In practical terms, this helps the system convert resistance values into oil temperature information. This makes the component useful for hydraulic installations where oil temperature trends need to be observed, recorded or connected to control equipment.

Robust Design for Hydraulic Applications

The body is made from transparent PA-T technopolymer, selected for resistance to shocks, oils with additives, solvents, hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha and phosphoric esters. The product includes zinc-plated steel fixing components, NBR sealing rings and a contrast screen that improves readability. The lens effect also supports better fluid level visibility from side positions.

The HCV.127-STL-AX-M12 uses an M12 thread and 127 mm mounting distance. Its overall structure is designed around an industrial reservoir environment, with an IP65 swivelling connector that allows front or side output. Maximum continuous working temperature is 90°C with oil, and laboratory testing with CB68 mineral oil showed welded body resistance up to 18 bar for a limited time.

Best-Fit Use Cases

This model is especially relevant for hydraulic power packs, industrial presses, machine tools, lubrication units and fluid tanks where temperature information is valuable for maintenance planning. Because temperature probe signals can be sensitive, cables should be kept away from electrical noise sources such as motors, switchgear and power cables.

Elesa+Ganter 11194 FAQ

What makes Elesa+Ganter 11194 HCV.127-STL-AX-M12 different?

It includes a temperature electrical probe rather than only a fixed temperature switching contact. This allows the system to read temperature through resistance variation.

What is the probe principle?

The temperature probe uses a platinum element. Its resistance changes with temperature, supporting temperature measurement when connected to suitable equipment.

Does it still show the oil level visually?

Yes. It is still a visual column level indicator, with transparent technopolymer and a contrast screen for easier oil level reading.

What should be considered during installation?

The measuring cables should be routed away from motors, switchgear and power lines. Shielded cable may help reduce interference in sensitive temperature readings.
