Elesa+Ganter 113369 Electrical Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113369 electrical column level indicator, identified as HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NC-STL, is engineered for applications that require a clear visual indication of reservoir level together with an electrical switching signal. It is especially relevant in hydraulic systems where low fluid level detection supports preventive maintenance and equipment protection.

Product Structure and Technical Details

This HCK.127 model uses a 127 mm fixing hole centre distance and M12 fixing thread size. The stainless steel fixing execution supports reliable assembly in industrial conditions. The NBR packing ring provides sealing for compatible hydraulic fluids, while the GL version is intended for mineral oil and water/glycol-based solutions when used within suitable pressure and temperature limits.

The most important distinction of this product is the NC contact. NC means normally closed, so the circuit is closed in its standard condition and opens when the defined level condition is reached. This approach is often preferred in monitoring systems where a broken cable or disconnected circuit must be easier to detect.

Typical Use Cases

This level indicator is suitable for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, industrial presses, machine tools, pump units, and equipment where reliable level control contributes to operational continuity. The column design allows technicians to check the fluid level visually during inspections, while the electrical contact supports connection to alarms, PLC inputs, or control cabinets.

Operational Value

The unit helps reduce uncertainty in maintenance planning. Instead of relying only on manual tank inspection, operators can use the visual scale and electrical signal together. The result is a more controlled approach to fluid management, especially in systems where oil level changes may affect cooling, lubrication, or pump performance.

Elesa+Ganter 113369  FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113369 product type?

It is an electrical column level indicator for monitoring fluid level in industrial tanks and hydraulic reservoirs.

What does NC mean?

NC means normally closed. The contact is closed in its normal state and opens when the switching condition occurs.

Why choose NC instead of NO?

NC contacts are often selected when the system design benefits from fail-safe style monitoring, because an open circuit can indicate either a level event or a wiring issue.

Is it suitable for hydraulic oil?

Yes, it is designed for hydraulic applications, including mineral oil use under suitable working conditions.
