Elesa+Ganter 11124 Column Level Indicator with Temperature Probe
The Elesa+Ganter 11124 column level indicator, manufacturer code HCV.254-STL-M12, is a hydraulic accessory developed for applications where oil level visibility and temperature information matter. It is part of the HCV.254 product family and is especially relevant for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, machine tools, and industrial power units.
Technical Characteristics
This model is designed with an M12 connection, a 254 mm mounting hole distance, and an approximate 280 mm overall length. Its transparent technopolymer column allows operators to visually check the fluid level without opening the reservoir. This is particularly useful in environments where quick inspection, clean operation, and reduced downtime are priorities.
Temperature Probe Function
The STL version is associated with a temperature electrical probe. Unlike simple visual indicators, this configuration supports more informed condition monitoring by giving access to oil temperature data. In hydraulic systems, oil temperature affects viscosity, component wear, sealing performance, and overall operating stability. Monitoring temperature alongside level helps maintenance teams identify abnormal operating conditions earlier.
Why It Matters in Hydraulic Systems
A hydraulic system depends on stable oil volume and suitable temperature. Too little oil can cause cavitation, pump damage, and inconsistent actuator performance. Excessive temperature can shorten fluid life and accelerate wear. The HCV.254-STL-M12 addresses both concerns by offering a durable column-style visual indicator with temperature probe functionality in one compact component.
