Elesa+Ganter 113463 HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-SW Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113463 electrical level indicator is an HCK.127 series oil level indicator designed for applications that require visual monitoring and a change-over electrical minimum-level signal. The SW contact configuration gives control system designers more flexibility than a simple NO or NC output, because the electrical contact switches between terminals when the minimum level condition is reached.

Technical Structure

This model has a 127 mm hole centre distance, M12 mounting thread and stainless-steel fixing hardware. The SST execution uses AISI 303 stainless-steel screws with AISI 304 stainless-steel nuts and washers. The assembly ends are made from black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide technopolymer, while the support is natural aluminium. A white lacquered aluminium contrast screen improves level visibility and can help operators read the fluid level more easily during inspection rounds.

The transparent PC level tube is intended for oil service. A removable polycarbonate front protection element helps protect the tube against accidental impact and supports practical cleaning access. The FKM sealing rings provide a higher-temperature sealing option, making this model suitable for oil systems where standard sealing materials may not be preferred.

SW Change-Over Contact Advantage

The SW contact is one of the key differences of this product. Instead of offering only a normally open or normally closed signal, it changes state between terminals. This can be valuable for PLC-controlled equipment, dual-signal circuits, alarm panels or installations where the same level event must be interpreted by different logic arrangements.

In real operating conditions, this helps maintenance and automation teams design more reliable fluid monitoring architecture. The visual level column remains available for direct human inspection, while the SW electrical output supports automated response when the oil level reaches the minimum threshold.

Industrial Use Cases

The Elesa+Ganter 113463 is commonly considered for hydraulic power units, machine tool lubrication systems, industrial oil reservoirs, compact hydraulic tanks and production machinery where fluid visibility and electrical signalling are both required.

Elesa+Ganter 113463 FAQ

What makes Elesa+Ganter 113463 different from NC versions?

The 113463 model uses an SW change-over contact, allowing the signal to switch between terminals when the minimum level is reached.

Is this product suitable for oil?

Yes, the PC level tube version is intended for oil level monitoring applications.

What is the benefit of the 127 mm size?

It offers a compact mounting format while still providing a clear visible level column for operators and maintenance personnel.

Why is a change-over contact useful?

It gives more wiring flexibility for control panels, PLC inputs and alarm circuits than a single NO or NC signal.
