Elesa+Ganter 113303-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC-KN Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113303-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC-KN column level indicator is a protected electrical level indicator developed for hydraulic and lubrication systems where both visual inspection and signal-based monitoring are required. It combines a transparent polycarbonate level tube with a normally closed contact configuration, helping maintenance teams follow oil level changes more confidently.

Construction and Code Meaning

The HCK.127 section refers to the 127 mm hole centre distance, while M12 indicates the fastening thread size. SST points to stainless steel fastening elements, suitable for applications where corrosion resistance and long-term mechanical reliability are important. NBR refers to the synthetic rubber O-ring, PC identifies the polycarbonate tube, and P means the model includes front protection.

Protected Visual Level Reading

The front protection helps reduce direct exposure of the transparent tube to impact, residue, and handling marks. This is especially valuable in industrial machinery, where level indicators may be installed near service panels, hydraulic power units, or mobile equipment frames. A protected oil level indicator can support cleaner readings and easier maintenance routines.

NC Contact for Process Awareness

The NC contact configuration is suitable for applications where the control system expects a closed circuit under normal conditions. When the level reaches the switching threshold, the state changes and can be used to trigger a warning, machine stop, or maintenance inspection. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 113303-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC-KN oil level indicator useful in preventive maintenance planning.

Where It Fits Best

This product type is well suited for hydraulic reservoirs, machine tools, industrial presses, lubrication stations, and compact power packs. Its stainless hardware, NBR sealing, and protected PC tube create a balanced solution for everyday oil level monitoring. For component information and related product families, see Elesa+Ganter.

FAQ

What makes the 113303-KN version useful?

It provides both visual oil level indication and electrical level monitoring. This helps operators detect level changes without relying only on manual inspection.

Does this model include front protection?

Yes. The “P” in the product code indicates polycarbonate front protection, which helps protect the transparent tube and supports easier cleaning.

What does the 127 value mean?

It refers to the 127 mm hole centre distance. This dimension is important when matching the indicator to an existing tank or machine panel.

Can it be used in automated systems?

Yes. The normally closed electrical contact can be integrated into control circuits for level supervision, alarms, or maintenance-related signals.
