Elesa+Ganter 113201 HCK.127 Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113201 oil level indicator, specified as HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO, is a high-performance column level indicator for industrial fluid monitoring. It is intended for systems where operators need a clear visual reading and where the equipment may also require an electrical level signal for monitoring or alarm purposes.
Technical Profile
This model is part of the HCK.127 range and includes an M12 electrical interface, FKM sealing material, GL suitability for oil and glycol-based solutions, and a normally open contact. The EHT designation indicates a configuration intended for more demanding temperature-related requirements compared with standard versions, making it relevant for machinery where thermal conditions must be considered carefully.
The Elesa+Ganter 113201 HCK.127 oil level indicator provides a practical combination of visual confirmation and electrical status output. This is useful in hydraulic systems, lubrication units, industrial reservoirs and machinery where fluid level directly affects operational reliability.
Operational Advantages
Fluid level monitoring is a simple task, but its impact is significant. When a reservoir level falls too low, the machine may experience pump cavitation, overheating, unstable pressure or insufficient lubrication. A reliable indicator allows operators to detect these changes before they develop into expensive failures.
The GL version supports use with oil and glycol-based media, while FKM seals are selected for improved resistance in demanding applications. The M12 connection supports professional integration into control systems and helps simplify installation, replacement and inspection.
Recommended Applications
This indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, lubrication reservoirs, processing machinery, industrial presses, cooling-related fluid systems and OEM equipment. The normally open contact is useful where the control system is designed to detect a specific level event by closing the circuit when the switching condition occurs.

Elesa+Ganter 113201 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elesa+Ganter 113201 HCK.127 oil level indicator designed for?
It is designed to monitor liquid level in industrial tanks and reservoirs. It provides a visible level reading and can also send an electrical signal through its normally open contact.
What does EHT mean in this product configuration?
EHT refers to a version intended for higher temperature-related requirements within the product family. It is useful when the operating environment demands careful attention to temperature performance.
What is the benefit of the GL version?
The GL version supports use with oil and glycol-based solutions. This makes the indicator suitable for systems where glycol mixtures are present, not only standard hydraulic oil.
Why is an M12 connection useful?
An M12 connection is compact, robust and common in industrial automation. It supports secure wiring and easier maintenance when sensors or indicators need to be checked or replaced.
Is this indicator suitable for automated monitoring?
Yes. The NO electrical contact can be connected to a control system, warning light or alarm circuit, depending on the machine design and safety requirements.
