Elesa+Ganter 113179 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO Oil Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113179 oil level indicator, listed as HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO, is designed for clear visual monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial reservoirs. Its HCK.127 format indicates a column-style level indicator with a 127 mm fixing centre distance, while the M12 connection size supports a robust mechanical installation in demanding machine environments.

This model uses a black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer structure, a transparent viewing column and a contrast screen that improves readability. The GL execution is suitable for oil and water/glycol-based solutions, making it a practical choice for hydraulic systems where level visibility and fluid compatibility are both important.

Elesa+Ganter 113179 Material and Sealing Features

The FKM sealing configuration is useful where higher chemical and temperature resistance is required compared with standard elastomer options. Zinc-plated steel fixing screws provide a strong mounting interface, while the transparent column allows operators to check the level without opening the tank. The P execution includes a protection frame, helping shield the viewing area from accidental impact in workshop or machine-side conditions.

Sensor Function

The “80-NO” specification refers to an electrical level control configuration with a normally open contact and intervention temperature setting around 80°C. This makes the indicator relevant not only for visual inspection, but also for signalling when predefined operating conditions are reached.

Elesa+Ganter 113179 Typical Applications

Common use cases include hydraulic power packs, industrial presses, machine tools, lubrication systems, mobile hydraulic equipment and process machinery where maintenance teams need fast confirmation of tank level. For related components, visit Elesa+Ganter technical components.

Elesa+Ganter 113179 FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113179 oil level indicator used for?

It is used to monitor fluid level in tanks and hydraulic reservoirs from outside the equipment.

Is HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO suitable for glycol-based fluids?

Yes, the GL execution is intended for oil and water/glycol-based solutions, subject to real operating conditions.

Why is FKM sealing important?

FKM helps improve resistance against temperature and certain fluids, making the indicator more suitable for demanding hydraulic environments.

What does normally open mean?

A normally open contact remains open under normal conditions and closes when the defined level or switching condition is reached.
