Elesa+Ganter 113317 Electrical Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113317 electrical level indicator, identified as HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NO-80-NO, is a column-style level indicator with electrical monitoring capability and an 80°C temperature-related function. It is designed for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, and industrial fluid tanks where both level and temperature awareness can support safer operation.
Technical Profile
This HCK.127 model features a 127 mm centre distance, M12 mounting, stainless-steel fastening elements, NBR sealing, and a transparent polycarbonate level tube. The NO contact configuration means the contact is normally open and changes state when the float reaches the defined switching point. The 80°C reference adds value in systems where high fluid temperature may need to be monitored.
Elesa+Ganter 113317 Why Level and Temperature Monitoring Matter
Hydraulic oil condition is closely linked to machine reliability. Low oil level can cause pump damage, air intake, and poor lubrication, while excessive temperature may accelerate oil degradation and reduce component life. The Elesa+Ganter 113317 electrical level indicator helps operators observe level locally and connect the electrical output to control or warning systems.
Industrial Applications
This component is suitable for hydraulic power units, machine tools, industrial presses, mobile equipment, lubrication reservoirs, and production machinery. The M12 connector supports practical electrical integration, while the column structure allows direct visual confirmation. Its stainless-steel hardware provides added durability for demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elesa+Ganter 113317 used for?
It is used to monitor fluid level in hydraulic and lubrication systems, with additional temperature-related monitoring around the 80°C specification.
What does NO mean in this product code?
NO means normally open. The electrical contact is open in its normal state and changes when the float reaches the switching threshold.
Why is the 80°C function important?
It helps support monitoring in systems where fluid temperature is relevant to safe operation, oil life, and machine protection.
Can this indicator help reduce downtime?
Yes. By combining visual inspection with electrical signalling, it can help maintenance teams detect level or temperature-related issues before they become more serious.
