Elesa+Ganter 113215-KN HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-STL-KN Oil Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113215-KN HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-STL-KN oil electrical level indicator is a technical solution for hydraulic systems requiring clear visual level reading, minimum level signalling and integrated temperature measurement. It is part of the HCK-E column indicator range, built for industrial reservoirs where reliability and easy inspection matter.

Construction and Materials

This indicator has a 127 mm centre distance and M12 fixing layout. Its ZN hardware uses zinc-plated steel screws, while FKM sealing rings support demanding thermal conditions. The GL tubular window is borosilicate glass, which is suitable for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions. A removable polycarbonate front protection helps shield the glass and allows cleaning access when the reservoir area requires maintenance.

Functional Characteristics

The EHT float is made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer and is intended for higher continuous working temperature than standard float executions. The NO electrical contact is normally open and closes when the minimum fluid level is reached. This gives control panels, alarms or PLC systems a direct signal when the reservoir requires attention. The STL suffix identifies the PT100 temperature probe, adding temperature feedback to the same component.

Elesa+Ganter 113215-KN Where It Fits Best

This model is useful in hydraulic power packs, machine tool lubrication units, industrial presses, cooling circuits and compact fluid tanks where both visual and electrical monitoring are needed. For related component information, see Elesa+Ganter.

Elesa+Ganter 113215-KN FAQ

What makes the 113215-KN different from a basic level indicator?

It combines a visual column, minimum level electrical contact and PT100 temperature probe in one assembly.

What does the normally open contact do?

The contact remains open during normal level conditions and closes when the minimum level threshold is reached.

Can it be used with water-glycol solutions?

Yes, the GL borosilicate glass tube is intended for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions, subject to operating verification.

Why is FKM used in this model?

FKM sealing rings are selected for applications requiring stronger temperature resistance than standard NBR sealing.

Does the PT100 probe replace a separate temperature sensor?

In many installations it can provide the required temperature signal, but the final setup depends on control accuracy, cable length and system design.
