Elesa+Ganter 11341 HCX.76-M10 Column Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11341 HCX.76-M10 column level indicator is a compact visual monitoring component developed for checking liquid levels in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units, and industrial reservoirs. It provides a clear sight line for operators who need quick and dependable information about fluid level during daily machine checks or scheduled maintenance routines.
Technical Structure
This model has a 76 mm hole centre distance and an M10 screw connection. The overall length is 107 mm, and the level visibility dimension is 40 mm. The mounting hole diameter is 10.5 mm, and the recommended maximum tightening torque is 12 Nm. These values make the HCX.76-M10 suitable for compact reservoir designs where space is limited but clear fluid level reading is still required.
The standard HCX.76-M10 version uses zinc-plated steel screws, nuts, and washers with NBR synthetic rubber O-ring packing. The transparent technopolymer body provides good resistance to shocks, oils with additives, solvents, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha, and phosphoric esters. Alcohol or detergents containing alcohol should be avoided for the standard HCX version.
Visibility and Sealing Performance
The indicator is designed with ultrasound welding to support a reliable seal. Its lens effect improves fluid level readability, while the geometry of the column supports visibility even from side positions. This matters in real industrial settings, where operators may not always view the reservoir directly from the front.
The white lacquered aluminium contrast screen sits in a rear external slot and helps improve visual contrast. It can also support the addition of level marks before assembly, which is useful when a machine builder wants to define minimum, maximum, or operating range indicators for a specific tank.
Industrial Applications
The Elesa+Ganter 11341 HCX.76-M10 column level indicator is commonly relevant for hydraulic units, oil tanks, lubrication systems, machine tools, process equipment, and compact industrial machinery. Its straightforward construction makes it a practical option when the primary requirement is reliable fluid level visibility with a durable, easy-to-read design.

Elesa+Ganter 11341 FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 11341 HCX.76-M10 used for?
It is used for visual fluid level monitoring in tanks and reservoirs. Operators can check the liquid level without opening the system, which supports faster inspection and safer maintenance planning.
Does the HCX.76-M10 include a thermometer?
No. The HCX.76-M10 is a standard column level indicator without an integrated thermometer. For temperature reading, thermometer versions from the HCX/T range are more suitable.
What is the hole centre distance of this model?
The hole centre distance is 76 mm. This dimension is important when matching the indicator to an existing reservoir drilling pattern.
What type of sealing ring is used?
The standard version uses an NBR synthetic rubber O-ring. NBR is commonly used in oil-related applications, but fluid compatibility should always be checked before installation.
Can this level indicator be used with alcohol-based fluids?
The standard HCX version should avoid contact with alcohol or detergents containing alcohol. For fluids or detergents containing alcohol, AR versions are generally more appropriate.
Why is the lens effect useful?
The lens effect improves readability by making the liquid level easier to see. This is especially helpful in busy industrial environments where inspections need to be quick and clear.
