Elesa+Ganter 11125-KN Column Level Indicator with Normally Open Contact

The Elesa+Ganter 11125-KN column level indicator, manufacturer code HCV.254-E-ST-NO-M12-KN, is an industrial hydraulic accessory developed for reliable oil level visibility and electrical level signalling. It is part of the HCV.254 range, commonly used in hydraulic reservoirs where clear visual inspection and signal-based monitoring are required.

Core Technical Features

This model is associated with an M12 connection, a 254 mm mounting hole distance, and an approximate 280 mm overall length. Its transparent technopolymer body allows the oil level to be checked directly from the outside of the tank. The column format is especially useful in machinery environments where fast inspection is needed without stopping the system.

Normally Open Contact Operation

The NO contact configuration means the electrical contact is normally open during standard operation and closes when the minimum oil level condition is reached. This makes the indicator suitable for integration into control panels, warning circuits, or basic machine monitoring systems. In many hydraulic applications, this type of signal helps operators respond before oil starvation affects pumps, valves, or actuators.

Industrial Relevance

The Elesa+Ganter 11125-KN column level indicator is well suited for hydraulic tanks, lubrication units, compact power packs, and industrial production machinery. It supports daily inspection routines while also offering a simple electrical interface for system alerts. Its material structure and sealed design make it practical for demanding workshop and factory environments.
