Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113011 electrical level indicator, coded HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NC, is a compact column level indicator developed for oil reservoirs and hydraulic systems where visual monitoring and electrical minimum-level detection are both required. It combines a mechanical level display with a normally closed electrical contact, making it suitable for machine safety logic and preventive maintenance routines.

Technical Features

The product is part of the HCK.127 series, with a 127 mm fixing hole centre distance. It features zinc-plated steel screws, M12 mounting, NBR synthetic rubber O-rings, a transparent polycarbonate tube and removable polycarbonate front protection. The assembly ends are made of black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer, while the body support is natural aluminium.

The NC contact is the key difference in this version. A normally closed contact opens when the minimum level is reached. This behaviour is often preferred in monitoring systems where signal interruption must be interpreted as a warning condition. In many industrial control panels, NC logic is selected because it can also help identify cable breaks or circuit interruptions more clearly than a simple open-contact arrangement.

Where It Is Used

The Elesa+Ganter 113011 electrical level indicator is commonly used in hydraulic units, oil tanks, machine tool lubrication systems, compact industrial reservoirs and automated production equipment. Its visual column helps operators inspect level status quickly, while the sensor enables integration into alarms or PLC-controlled systems.

Engineering Considerations

The NBR sealing version is designed for oil use with a maximum continuous working temperature of 100°C. The minimum level threshold is positioned around 55 mm above the lower screw axis, based on standard test conditions with mineral oil. The indicator should be installed away from strong magnetic fields to preserve sensor reliability.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113011 designed to monitor?

It monitors oil level visually and electrically in hydraulic or lubrication reservoirs.

What does NC mean?

NC means normally closed. The contact opens when the minimum level is reached.

Does this model include a temperature probe?

No. This version is focused on minimum level monitoring, not temperature measurement.

What material is the tube made from?

The level tube is made from transparent polycarbonate for oil applications.

What tightening torque is recommended?

For the HCK.127 size, the maximum tightening torque is 12 Nm.
