Elesa+Ganter 113455-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113455-KN electrical column level indicator is designed for hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and oil reservoirs where visual level checking needs to be supported by electrical monitoring. Its full reference, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NO-STL-KN, shows a compact 127 mm hole-centre configuration with stainless steel fixing elements, M12 mounting thread, FKM sealing rings, a transparent polycarbonate tube and an electrical minimum-level sensor.
Technical Structure and Application
This model belongs to the HCK-E-STL family, which combines oil level visibility with electrical level detection and a PT100 temperature probe. The 127 mm hole-centre distance makes it suitable for compact and medium hydraulic reservoirs where operators need a clear sight window without using excessive panel space. The SST execution refers to AISI 303 stainless steel screws with AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers, helping the indicator perform reliably in industrial environments where corrosion resistance is important.
The PC tubular window is intended for oil applications, while the removable polycarbonate front protection helps keep the reading area clean during maintenance. FKM sealing rings provide improved temperature resistance compared with standard NBR seals, making this model relevant for equipment exposed to warmer oil circuits. The NO contact means the minimum-level electrical contact closes when the preset minimum level is reached, allowing the machine control system to react before the reservoir reaches a critical condition.
Why This Model Matters
For engineers comparing oil level indicators, hydraulic tank level gauges and electrical level sensors, the Elesa+Ganter 113455-KN offers a balanced format: visual reading, stainless steel hardware, electrical minimum-level signalling and PT100 temperature feedback in one compact component. The STL configuration is particularly useful when temperature information is required as a resistance-based signal for monitoring systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of product is the Elesa+Ganter 113455-KN?
It is an electrical column level indicator for hydraulic oil reservoirs. It provides direct visual oil-level reading and includes electrical monitoring functions for minimum level detection and temperature measurement.
What does NO mean in this code?
NO means normally open. In this configuration, the electrical contact closes when the minimum oil level is reached, which can be used to trigger an alarm, warning light or PLC input.
What is the benefit of the STL version?
The STL version includes a PT100 temperature probe. This is useful when the machine control system needs temperature data in addition to oil-level information.
Where is this indicator typically used?
It is commonly used on hydraulic power packs, industrial oil reservoirs, lubrication systems, machine tools and equipment where oil level and temperature must be monitored from a fixed tank position.
