Elesa+Ganter 111112 HCY.127-E-NC-M12 Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111112 HCY.127-E-NC-M12 column level indicator is a hydraulic oil level monitoring component built for applications where visual inspection and electrical low-level detection are both important. It is part of the HCY-E range and is especially useful in machinery where operators need a reliable indication of oil level conditions.

Technical Features

This model has a 127 mm mounting centre distance and an M12 threaded connection. The NC version uses a normally closed contact. When the minimum oil level is reached, the contact opens. This behaviour is often preferred in systems where interruption of the circuit must indicate a warning condition, making it useful for safety-conscious monitoring layouts.

The HCY.127-E-NC-M12 is made from technopolymer and is designed for use with oil in hydraulic systems. Its maximum continuous working temperature is 80°C with oil. Under laboratory conditions using mineral oil CB68 at 23°C, the HCY.127 version withstands up to 9 bar for a limited period. The integrated white contrast screen improves readability, helping maintenance teams identify oil levels faster during inspections.

Application Benefits

The Elesa+Ganter 111112 HCY.127-E-NC-M12 column level indicator supports better hydraulic system reliability by combining a direct visual reference with an electrical signal. This helps teams identify low oil conditions before they develop into pump damage, heat build-up, lubrication failure, or unplanned machine stoppage.

Elesa+Ganter 111112 HCY.127-E-NC-M12 Level Indicator FAQ

What does NC mean on this product?

NC means normally closed. The contact remains closed during normal operation and opens when the minimum oil level is reached.

What type of product is HCY.127-E-NC-M12?

It is a column level indicator with a minimum level electrical sensor for hydraulic oil reservoirs.

Why choose an NC contact?

An NC contact is useful when the control system must detect a circuit opening as a low-level warning condition.

What should be checked before installation?

Confirm fluid compatibility, operating temperature, pressure conditions, mounting distance, and cable routing before installation.
