Elesa+Ganter 111006 HCK.76-SST316-M10-FKM-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111006 oil level indicator is designed for clear visual monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic systems, lubrication units and industrial reservoirs. Known by its full code HCK.76-SST316-M10-FKM-GL-P, this compact column level indicator combines corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, an FKM sealing system and a borosilicate glass tube for dependable visibility in demanding environments.

Technical Construction and Materials

This model has a 76 mm hole centre distance, M10 screw connection and a transparent glass level tube. The SST316 execution means that the screws, nuts and washers are made from AISI 316 stainless steel, making the product suitable for installations where moisture, washdown exposure or aggressive atmospheres may be present. The FKM O-ring is selected for higher temperature resistance compared with standard NBR seals.

Where It Is Commonly Used

The Elesa+Ganter 111006 HCK oil level indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power packs, gearbox housings, coolant reservoirs and machine tool lubrication systems. Its GL glass tube configuration is suitable for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions, while the front polycarbonate protection helps guard the viewing area during daily industrial use.

Why This Oil Level Indicator Matters

Accurate level reading helps prevent dry running, overheating, unplanned downtime and poor lubrication. Because this part offers side-position visibility, operators can check fluid status quickly without opening the tank. For engineering teams, the 76 mm format is useful when space is limited but reliable level control is still required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elesa+Ganter 111006 used for?

It is used to visually monitor the level of oil, water or water-glycol based fluids in tanks, hydraulic reservoirs and lubrication units.

What does SST316 mean in the product code?

SST316 indicates AISI 316 stainless steel screws, nuts and washers. This is important in environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Why does this model use FKM sealing?

FKM is chosen for stronger thermal and chemical resistance than many standard rubber materials, especially in higher-temperature fluid applications.

Is the GL tube suitable for oil?

Yes. The borosilicate glass tube is suitable for oil and also for water or water-glycol based solutions within the specified operating limits.
