Elesa+Ganter 111056 HCK.508-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 111056 HCK.508-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P oil level indicator is a long-format visual level monitoring component for hydraulic tanks, fluid reservoirs and industrial machinery. It is part of the HCK range and is configured with a 508 mm hole centre distance, M12 fixing thread and borosilicate glass level tube.
Elesa+Ganter 111056 HCK.508-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P Key Technical Features
This model combines glass-fibre reinforced polyamide assembly ends, a natural aluminium support and a removable white contrast screen for improved readability. The GL tubular window uses borosilicate glass and is protected by a removable polycarbonate front plate. This helps maintain visibility while supporting inspection in oil, water and water/glycol-based applications.
AISI 316 Stainless Steel Advantage
The SST316 execution uses AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, making it a strong option for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. Combined with FKM synthetic rubber O-rings, the unit is suitable for continuous working temperatures up to 130°C, depending on the actual fluid and system conditions.
Industrial Use Cases
This indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power units, process equipment, marine-related machinery, stainless steel production areas and systems exposed to humid or aggressive environments. Its 452 mm visible level range gives operators a broad and practical reading window. More information is available through Elesa+Ganter.
Elesa+Ganter 111056 HCK.508-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P FAQ
How does this model differ from standard SST versions?
The key difference is the use of AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, which offers improved corrosion resistance compared with standard stainless steel configurations.
Can it be used with glycol-based solutions?
Yes. The GL configuration is intended for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions up to 50%, subject to verification under real working conditions.
What is the visible level length?
For the 508 mm execution, the visible level length is 452 mm, giving operators a wide visual range for monitoring tank content.
Why choose a glass tube?
Borosilicate glass provides excellent transparency and good resistance for compatible industrial fluids, helping the indicator remain readable over time.
Is this product only for hydraulic systems?
Hydraulic systems are a primary use case, but the indicator may also be used in suitable lubrication and fluid reservoir applications where the material compatibility is confirmed.
