Elesa+Ganter 111361-R HCX.127/T-AR-VT-M12 Level Indicator with Thermometer
The Elesa+Ganter 111361-R level indicator with thermometer, identified as HCX.127/T-AR-VT-M12, is a hydraulic accessory developed for visual fluid level checking and temperature monitoring. It is especially valuable in systems where oil condition and operating temperature influence machine reliability.
Technical Profile of HCX.127/T-AR-VT-M12
This model is part of the HCX/T-AR-VT series and uses a 127 mm indicator size. Compared with the M10 version, this model uses an M12 mounting configuration, which may be preferred depending on tank design, mechanical requirements, and installation standards. The integrated thermometer allows users to monitor oil temperature directly from the reservoir wall.
The Elesa+Ganter 111361-R level indicator with thermometer features a transparent technopolymer body designed for clear visual reading. The thermometer scale supports quick checks during routine maintenance, while the NBR packing ring assists with sealing performance.
Why This Component Matters in Hydraulic Systems
Hydraulic systems depend on correct oil level and stable temperature. Low oil level may lead to cavitation, reduced lubrication, and increased component wear. High oil temperature may reduce viscosity and shorten seal life. A combined level and temperature indicator gives operators fast insight into both conditions.
Applications
- Hydraulic tanks on industrial machines
- Oil reservoirs in production equipment
- Power packs and hydraulic units
- Lubrication and circulation systems
- Machinery requiring visual temperature checks
Design and Maintenance Advantages
The HCX.127/T-AR-VT-M12 supports simple external reading, reducing the need to open the reservoir for routine checks. The integrated thermometer helps operators identify operating trends over time. This makes the component useful for preventive maintenance programs and daily machine inspections.

FAQ
What is the main function of Elesa+Ganter 111361-R?
It provides visual oil level indication and temperature reading for hydraulic reservoirs.
How is HCX.127/T-AR-VT-M12 different from HCX.127/T-AR-VT-M10?
The main difference is the mounting thread size. This model uses M12, while the other version uses M10.
Does the thermometer require electrical power?
No. The thermometer is a visual mechanical temperature reference and does not require an electrical connection.
Why is temperature monitoring useful?
Temperature monitoring helps identify overheating, incorrect oil viscosity conditions, and potential hydraulic system stress.
Can this product support preventive maintenance?
Yes. Regular visual checks of oil level and temperature can help maintenance teams detect abnormal conditions early.
What should be checked before installation?
The tank mounting distance, thread size, sealing surface, fluid compatibility, and operating temperature should all be reviewed before installation.
