Elesa+Ganter 113445 Electrical Oil Level Indicator
Elesa+Ganter 113445 electrical oil level indicator, with the technical reference HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-SW, is a column-type oil level indicator with an electrical change-over contact. It is developed for industrial systems where reliable visual monitoring and flexible signal switching are required.
Technical Profile
The “SW” version uses a change-over electrical contact, making it suitable for control circuits that need switching between terminals rather than a simple normally open or normally closed signal. This provides broader integration flexibility for hydraulic systems, oil reservoirs, and machine monitoring panels.
The model includes stainless-steel fastening elements, FKM sealing, a transparent polycarbonate tube, and a 4-pole M12 connector. The 127 mm format offers practical visibility while remaining compact enough for machinery and tank-mounted installations.
Where It Is Used
The Elesa+Ganter 113445 HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-SW electrical oil level indicator is commonly selected for hydraulic power packs, industrial lubrication units, manufacturing machinery, and fluid storage systems. Its change-over signal can support alarms, interlocks, or monitoring logic depending on the machine design.
Performance Benefits
Operators benefit from direct visual indication, while automation systems receive an electrical signal from the level sensor. This dual monitoring approach reduces the risk of unnoticed low oil levels, which can lead to pump stress, component wear, overheating, or process interruptions.
Material Advantages
FKM sealing is suitable for many oil-based industrial applications, while the stainless-steel execution improves resistance in demanding environments. The polycarbonate tube provides clear level visibility and contributes to a practical, easy-to-read design.

Elesa+Ganter 113445 FAQ
What does SW mean in this product code?
SW refers to a change-over electrical contact. This contact type can switch between terminals, giving designers more flexibility in control circuit configuration.
Is the 113445 only a visual level indicator?
No. It combines a visual column level indicator with an electrical level sensor, making it suitable for both manual inspection and automated monitoring.
Why is this useful in hydraulic systems?
Hydraulic systems depend on stable oil levels for lubrication, cooling, and pressure performance. This indicator helps detect level issues before they cause operational problems.
What type of connector does it use?
It uses an M12 connector, a common industrial connector type used for sensors and automation components.
