Elesa+Ganter 111014 HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111014 oil level indicator , identified by the stock code HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P, is a column-type oil level indicator designed for clear visual monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, and industrial machinery. This component belongs to the HCK series, developed for applications using oil and glycol-based solutions.

Technical Overview

This model is built with glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer assembly ends, providing mechanical strength and stability in demanding machine environments. Its natural aluminium support and white lacquered aluminium graduated contrast screen help operators read the fluid level easily, even from side positions. The transparent tubular window is made from borosilicate glass, a material valued for clarity and thermal stability.

The “ZN” configuration indicates zinc-plated steel fixing elements, while “M12” refers to the mounting thread size. The “NBR” sealing material is widely used in hydraulic and oil applications due to its compatibility with mineral oils and many industrial fluids. The “GL” version is suitable for oil, water, and glycol-based solutions, making the indicator practical for hydraulic reservoirs and cooling-related systems.

Where It Is Commonly Used

The Elesa+Ganter 111014 HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P oil level indicator is commonly selected for hydraulic power units, gearboxes, lubrication tanks, compressors, and machine tool systems. Its 127 mm size offers a compact yet readable level-checking solution for medium-sized reservoirs.
