Elesa+Ganter 11116-KN HCV.127-E-ST-NC-M12-KN Electrical Level Indicator

Technical Profile

The ELESA+GANTER 11116-KN HCV.127-E-ST-NC-M12-KN electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems that need visual level control, minimum level monitoring, and temperature-related electrical signalling. It belongs to the HCV-E-ST family, a widely used column level indicator range for oil tanks and industrial hydraulic reservoirs.

The product code identifies a 127 mm mounting centre distance, M12 connection, and NC contact configuration. The NC version is normally closed and opens when the minimum level and/or the preset temperature threshold is reached. This makes the unit useful for machine safety circuits, low-oil warnings, and preventive maintenance systems.

Materials and Design

The indicator is built from transparent technopolymer, allowing operators to view the fluid level directly. Its construction includes a float with magnetic element, sealing elements suitable for reservoir mounting, and a connector arrangement designed for electrical integration. The contrast screen improves visual reading, especially in workshop or machine-room conditions where lighting is not always ideal.

For the HCV.127 size, the overall length is typically associated with the 153 mm class, while the mounting distance remains 127 mm. The series is intended for oil applications and should be evaluated according to actual working pressure, oil type, temperature, and installation environment.

Application Areas

This indicator is suitable for hydraulic power packs, compact hydraulic units, industrial machinery, lubrication systems, production equipment, and service-intensive oil reservoirs. Its combined visual and electrical monitoring capability helps maintenance teams detect abnormal oil level conditions early.

Elesa+Ganter 11116-KN FAQ

What is the purpose of Elesa+Ganter 11116-KN HCV.127-E-ST-NC-M12-KN?

It monitors hydraulic oil level visually and electrically, helping detect minimum level conditions.

What does the NC contact do?

The NC contact remains closed during normal operation and opens when the minimum level or preset temperature condition is reached.

Is the 127 mm value the total length?

No. The 127 mm value refers to the mounting centre distance. The overall indicator length is larger.

Where is this model commonly installed?

It is commonly installed on hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs, and machine lubrication systems.

Why choose an electrical level indicator instead of a simple sight glass?

An electrical level indicator provides both local visual reading and signal output for alarms, machine controls, or maintenance planning.
