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

Technical Introduction

The Elesa+Ganter 113181-KN electrical level indicator, model HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-STL-KN, is engineered for hydraulic and industrial fluid systems requiring both visual level reading and electrical monitoring capability. It belongs to the HCK.127 column level indicator group, which is commonly used on reservoirs, power units and lubrication tanks.

Key Construction Features

The model combines reinforced technopolymer components, a transparent column and a high-contrast internal screen for easy fluid level reading. Its 127 mm centre distance supports compact installation, while the M12 mounting format provides mechanical stability. The protected P configuration improves resistance against accidental contact around the viewing section.

FKM sealing is important for applications involving higher temperatures or more demanding fluid compatibility requirements. The GL execution supports mineral oil and water/glycol-based solutions, making this model suitable for many hydraulic circuits and cooling-assisted systems. The STL-KN configuration places the product among electrical level indicator options, enabling integration into monitoring or warning circuits.

Why It Matters in Hydraulic Systems

Reliable level indication reduces the risk of running equipment with insufficient oil or incorrect fluid level. In hydraulic power units, even small changes in fluid level may signal leakage, air ingress or overheating risk. A combined visual and electrical indicator helps maintenance teams react earlier and maintain more consistent machine operation.
