ELESA+GANTER 11183 HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12 Electrical Level Indicator
The ELESA+GANTER 11183 HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12 electrical level indicator is a column type oil level indicator with a change-over electrical contact. It is built for industrial hydraulic systems where both visual oil level reading and electrical minimum level signalling are required.
Technical Overview
The HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12 uses transparent technopolymer for the main body, giving operators a clear view of the oil level. The internal float contains a magnetic element that activates the electrical contact as the fluid drops to the defined minimum level. The SW configuration provides a change-over contact, also commonly described as SPDT, allowing flexible integration into machine control circuits.
Key Features
- Product type: electrical column level indicator
- Stock code: 11183
- Model: HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12
- Contact configuration: SW / SPDT change-over contact
- Thread: M12
- Panel distance: 127 mm
- Overall length: 201.5 mm
- Maximum tightening torque: 12 Nm
Performance Benefits
This model is useful when the control panel needs a change-over signal rather than a simple normally open or normally closed output. It can help designers build alarm, shutdown or status logic into hydraulic equipment. The lens effect improves visibility, and ultrasonic welding supports a sealed construction for demanding machine environments.
Recommended Applications
The ELESA+GANTER 11183 HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12 electrical level indicator is commonly relevant for hydraulic power units, lubrication tanks, machine tools, mobile hydraulic equipment and industrial automation systems. It supports preventive maintenance by making low oil level easier to identify before it affects system performance.

Elesa+Ganter 11183 HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12 FAQ
What does SW mean on this level indicator?
SW refers to a change-over electrical contact. This gives the control system more wiring flexibility compared with a single NO or NC contact.
Is the HCV.127-E-AX-SW-M12 only a visual level indicator?
No. It provides visual oil level indication and an electrical signal when the oil drops to the minimum level.
Can it be used in hydraulic oil tanks?
Yes, it is intended for oil level monitoring in hydraulic reservoirs and similar industrial fluid systems.
Why choose the SPDT version?
The SPDT version is useful when the machine control design needs a selectable signal path for alarm, stop or monitoring functions.
