Elesa+Ganter 11056-KN Electrical Oil Level Indicator: Technical Overview

What Is the Elesa+Ganter 11056-KN HCV.76-E-STL-NO-M10-KN?

The Elesa+Ganter 11056-KN electrical oil level indicator, also known as HCV.76-E-STL-NO-M10-KN, is a column-type oil level indicator designed for hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, industrial reservoirs, and machinery where visual level control and electrical monitoring are both required. It combines a transparent technopolymer body with a minimum level electrical sensor and a temperature electrical probe.

Key Technical Features

This model uses a transparent polyamide-based technopolymer body with strong resistance to shock, oils with additives, solvents, hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha, and phosphoric esters. The unit includes zinc-plated steel screws, nuts, and washers, plus NBR sealing elements for secure installation on reservoir walls.

The NO configuration means the electrical contact is normally open. When the oil drops to the minimum level, the contact closes and can send a signal to the connected control system. This makes the product suitable for preventive maintenance, machine protection, and early warning applications.

Temperature Monitoring and Installation

The built-in temperature probe works through a platinum resistance element, allowing the system to read oil temperature changes through resistance variation. The swivelling connector with cable gland provides IP65 protection against water sprays when correctly installed. The 76 mm hole centre distance and M10 thread make this version suitable for compact hydraulic reservoirs.

Where Is It Used?

The HCV.76-E-STL-NO-M10-KN is commonly used in hydraulic power units, machine tools, industrial presses, automated production equipment, lubrication tanks, and mobile hydraulic systems. Its clear column design allows operators to check the oil level visually, while the electrical sensor supports automated supervision.

FAQ

What does NO mean in HCV.76-E-STL-NO-M10-KN?

NO means normally open. In normal operating conditions, the electrical contact stays open. When the oil level reaches the minimum threshold, the contact closes and sends a signal to the monitoring system.

Does the Elesa+Ganter 11056-KN indicator measure temperature?

Yes. This model includes a temperature electrical probe based on a platinum resistance element, allowing oil temperature to be monitored electrically.

Is this product suitable for oil reservoirs?

Yes. It is designed for oil level monitoring in hydraulic and lubrication reservoirs, especially where both visual checking and electrical signalling are needed.

Can it be used near magnetic fields?

No. Since the float includes a magnetic element for sensor activation, it should not be mounted close to magnetic fields that may interfere with the signal.
