Elesa+Ganter 113181 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-STL Oil Level Indicator

Product Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113181 oil level indicator, model HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-STL, is a column-type level indicator for monitoring oil and compatible water/glycol-based solutions in hydraulic systems. Its 127 mm fixing centre distance and M12 installation format make it a practical choice for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units and industrial tank assemblies.

Design and Materials

The HCK series is known for its reinforced technopolymer end blocks, transparent viewing column and high-contrast screen. This structure allows operators to verify fluid level quickly during routine maintenance. The P version includes a protective frame, helping reduce mechanical exposure around the transparent column.

FKM sealing improves compatibility in more demanding applications where standard seals may not be ideal. The GL configuration supports use with oil and water/glycol-based solutions, while the STL execution refers to a level sensor-related configuration in the HCK family. Together, these features make the model relevant for systems that need reliable visual checking and structured fluid supervision.

Operational Value

Fluid level monitoring is a basic but critical task in hydraulic equipment. Low oil level may cause cavitation, overheating, pump damage or irregular machine movement. A clearly visible indicator such as HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-STL helps technicians detect problems before they become expensive failures.

Application Areas

This model is suitable for hydraulic presses, compact power packs, CNC machines, lubrication reservoirs, industrial production lines and maintenance-intensive equipment. For related components, visit Elesa+Ganter component range.
