Elesa+Ganter 113065-KN Electrical Level Indicator: Technical Guide for Hydraulic Fluid Monitoring
Elesa+Ganter 113065-KN electrical level indicator, identified as HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NO-STL-KN, is a column-style monitoring component designed for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication tanks and industrial fluid systems where visual level checking and electrical minimum-level feedback are both required.
What Is the HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NO-STL-KN?
This model belongs to the HCK-E-STL family, combining a transparent level column, a minimum level electrical sensor and a PT100 temperature probe. The 127 mm hole-centre distance makes it suitable for compact reservoirs where operators need a clear reading point without occupying excessive tank space. Its M12 mounting thread is a familiar standard in industrial assemblies, helping maintenance teams integrate the indicator into common hydraulic layouts.
Key Technical Characteristics
The unit uses glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer assembly ends, a natural aluminium support and a white graduated contrast screen. The GL transparent tube is borosilicate glass, intended for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions. NBR sealing rings support continuous operation up to 100°C, while the removable polycarbonate front protection helps keep the level window readable during routine inspections.
The NO electrical contact means the circuit closes when the minimum fluid level is reached. In practical terms, this makes the product useful for warning systems, control panels or machine safety logic where a low-level signal must trigger attention. The STL suffix indicates a PT100 temperature probe, allowing the system to monitor fluid temperature as well as level condition.
Where It Is Commonly Used
This indicator is relevant for hydraulic power units, machine tools, industrial presses, lubrication systems, compact tanks and OEM equipment where fluid visibility, low-level detection and temperature feedback are important. It supports preventive maintenance by helping operators notice abnormal level drops before they develop into pump cavitation, overheating or unplanned downtime.
Installation and Application Notes
The indicator should be installed according to the correct 127 mm fixing distance and with attention to sealing surface quality. Because the magnetic float and sensor system may be affected by magnetic interference, installation near strong magnetic fields should be avoided. For chemical fluids or unusual temperature and pressure conditions, application suitability should be verified before use.

Elesa+Ganter 113065-KN Electrical Level Indicator Frequently Asked Questions
What does Elesa+Ganter 113065-KN electrical level indicator measure?
It provides visual fluid level indication and electrical minimum-level signalling. Because this version includes STL, it also supports PT100-based temperature monitoring.
What does NO mean in this model?
NO means normally open. The electrical contact closes when the minimum level is reached, allowing a connected control system to react to low fluid level.
Which fluids are suitable for the GL tube version?
The GL borosilicate glass tube is intended for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions, commonly up to 50% glycol mixtures in standard technical references.
Why is NBR used in this code?
NBR is used for the O-ring sealing system and is commonly selected for oil-based hydraulic environments where reliable sealing and moderate temperature resistance are needed.
Is this model suitable for compact tanks?
Yes. The 127 mm hole-centre distance makes it practical for relatively compact reservoirs while still offering a readable level window and electrical feedback.
