Elesa+Ganter 111054 HCK.508-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 111054 HCK.508-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P oil level indicator is built for clear fluid level monitoring in hydraulic systems, reservoirs and industrial machinery. With a 508 mm hole centre distance and M12 fixing threads, it is suitable for larger tanks where extended level visibility is required.

The GL configuration uses a transparent borosilicate glass tubular window, suitable for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions. This makes the product more versatile than PC-only configurations used mainly for oil. The front polycarbonate protection helps protect the glass tube and can be removed for cleaning, supporting long-term readability in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Construction

The Elesa+Ganter 111054 oil level indicator includes zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers, along with NBR synthetic rubber O-rings. This configuration is commonly selected for standard industrial use where oil and glycol-based fluids must be monitored visually. The white graduated contrast screen behind the tube improves readability and can support clearer identification of fluid level changes.

Visual level indicators remain important even when a system includes electronic monitoring. A direct sight line gives maintenance teams an immediate, independent way to verify fluid status. This can be valuable during commissioning, troubleshooting, refilling or routine inspection.

Application Areas

This model is commonly used in hydraulic power units, lubrication systems, machine tools, industrial reservoirs and cooling or circulation systems that use oil or glycol-based liquids. Its 508 mm size is particularly useful where the tank height requires a longer visible range.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 111054 used for?

It is used to visually monitor fluid levels in hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs and systems using oil, water or water/glycol-based solutions.

What does GL mean in this product code?

GL indicates a borosilicate glass transparent tube, suitable for oil, water and glycol-based solutions.

How is this different from a PC version?

A PC version uses a polycarbonate tube mainly for oil, while the GL version uses borosilicate glass for broader fluid compatibility.

Why does it include front protection?

The front polycarbonate protection helps shield the glass tube from contact and contamination while remaining removable for cleaning.

Is this model suitable for larger reservoirs?

Yes. The 508 mm hole centre distance and extended viewing range make it appropriate for larger hydraulic and lubrication tanks.
