Elesa+Ganter 113443 Electrical Oil Level Indicator
Elesa+Ganter 113443 electrical oil level indicator, also known as HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC, is a column-type level indicator developed for controlled monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic systems, lubrication units, industrial tanks, and machinery where clear visual feedback and electrical signalling are required.
Technical Overview
This model belongs to the HCK.127 series and features a stainless-steel execution with an M12 connector, FKM sealing elements, and a transparent polycarbonate tube. The “NC” configuration refers to a normally closed electrical contact, which is commonly used in systems where a change in minimum level must be detected reliably by the control circuit.
The product is designed for applications involving mineral oil and compatible fluids. Its column-style structure allows operators to check the level visually, while the integrated electrical level function supports automated monitoring. This combination is useful in hydraulic power units, machine tools, industrial processing equipment, and maintenance-sensitive installations.
Why This Component Matters
In many industrial environments, fluid level is directly linked to machine safety, cooling performance, lubrication stability, and process continuity. A component such as the Elesa+Ganter 113443 HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC electrical oil level indicator helps engineers monitor low-level conditions before they develop into equipment wear, pump cavitation, overheating, or unplanned downtime.
Key Features
The stainless-steel hardware supports durability in demanding environments. The FKM sealing material is valued for its resistance to oils and higher operating temperatures compared with standard rubber options. The polycarbonate tube provides transparent level visibility, and the M12 connector simplifies integration with industrial electrical systems.
Application Areas
This indicator is suitable for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, oil tanks, compact machinery, production lines, and equipment where minimum level detection is required. The normally closed contact configuration can be useful for fail-safe-oriented monitoring logic, depending on the electrical design of the machine.

Elesa+Ganter 113443 FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 113443 used for?
It is used to visually and electrically monitor oil level in hydraulic and lubrication systems. The device helps operators identify low fluid levels and supports preventive maintenance routines.
What does NC mean in HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC?
NC means normally closed. In this configuration, the electrical contact is closed under normal conditions and changes state when the defined minimum level condition is reached.
Why is FKM sealing important?
FKM sealing material offers strong resistance to mineral oils, industrial fluids, and elevated temperatures, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic applications.
Where is this product commonly installed?
It is commonly installed on hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs, lubrication units, machine tools, and industrial equipment requiring continuous level observation.
