Elesa+Ganter 113177-KN HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NC-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113177-KN electrical level indicator is an HCK.127 series component intended for industrial reservoir monitoring where visual level reading and temperature-related electrical signalling are needed in one compact assembly. It is a practical option for equipment designers and maintenance teams working with hydraulic or compatible fluid systems.

Technical Structure

This product follows the 127 mm mounting format used in the HCK.127 family. The M12 fixing arrangement, 12.5 mm mounting hole requirement, and controlled tightening approach help create a secure installation when the reservoir wall is correctly prepared. The GL-P configuration supports applications involving oil and glycol-based fluids under verified operating conditions.

The FKM sealing specification is valuable for demanding industrial environments where fluid compatibility and sealing reliability are critical. The 80-NC section indicates an 80°C normally closed temperature monitoring function. This makes the component suitable for systems where overheating should be detected as part of machine protection or preventive maintenance logic.

Application Environment

The Elesa+Ganter 113177-KN electrical level indicator can be used in hydraulic power units, automated production machines, presses, lubrication systems, machine tools, and compact reservoir assemblies. It is especially relevant for machines that operate continuously or in environments where fluid temperature can rise due to load, duty cycle, or ambient conditions.

Practical Advantages

A combined level and temperature monitoring approach gives technicians a clearer view of system health. The operator can visually confirm reservoir level, while the electrical function can support alarm logic or machine control feedback. This combination helps reduce uncertainty during inspections and supports a more disciplined maintenance process.

FAQ

What makes Elesa+Ganter 113177-KN different from a basic visual indicator?

It includes electrical monitoring functionality, allowing it to support temperature-related signalling in addition to direct visual level reading.

Why is the 80°C threshold useful?

An 80°C threshold can help identify overheating risks in hydraulic systems before heat-related wear, oil degradation, or seal problems become more serious.

Is this model suitable for glycol-based systems?

The GL-P configuration is associated with oil and glycol-based solution compatibility, but suitability should always be confirmed under actual operating conditions.

What should be considered before installation?

Check mounting dimensions, seal compatibility, reservoir wall thickness, electrical wiring requirements, operating temperature, fluid type, and access for inspection.
