Elesa+Ganter 11124-KN Column Level Indicator for Oil Temperature Visibility
The Elesa+Ganter 11124-KN column level indicator, manufacturer reference HCV.254-STL-M12-KN, is a practical hydraulic tank accessory developed for visual oil level monitoring and temperature-related inspection. It belongs to the HCV.254 series, a column-style indicator range used in industrial hydraulic and lubrication systems.
Product Structure and Dimensions
This indicator is based on the 254 mm mounting format and uses an M12 connection. With an approximate overall length of 280 mm, it is suited for medium-to-large hydraulic reservoirs where a clear oil column reading is needed. The transparent technopolymer body improves visibility, while the column design gives operators a simple reference point during maintenance checks.
STL Temperature Probe Configuration
The STL configuration identifies this model as a version with a temperature electrical probe. For hydraulic systems, this is highly relevant because oil temperature often reveals how efficiently the system is operating. A sudden rise in temperature can indicate overload, insufficient cooling, incorrect oil viscosity, contamination, or internal leakage. By combining level visibility with temperature monitoring potential, the HCV.254-STL-M12-KN supports a more complete maintenance approach.
Industrial Use Cases
The Elesa+Ganter 11124-KN column level indicator can be used in hydraulic power packs, machine tools, industrial presses, mobile equipment reservoirs, and lubrication systems. Its compact design helps engineers keep tank layouts clean while still giving technicians direct access to essential operating information.
