Elesa+Ganter 113485 Electrical Oil Level Indicator
Elesa+Ganter 113485 HCK electrical oil level indicator, coded as HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC, is a column-style level indicator developed for hydraulic systems and industrial tanks. It combines direct visual level reading with an electrical normally closed contact, helping operators and maintenance teams monitor fluid level more reliably.
Product Design and Technical Profile
The HCK.127 configuration indicates a 127 mm mounting centre distance. The SST construction includes stainless steel fixing elements, which are valuable in industrial environments where moisture, coolant mist or cleaning processes may increase corrosion risk. The GL structure refers to the transparent glass level tube, offering good visibility and stable performance in applications involving oil, water or glycol-based solutions.
The product includes a protective front element that helps shield the level tube from accidental contact. This is especially useful on machinery where service teams frequently work around tanks, hydraulic units or exposed reservoirs.
Normally Closed Contact Operation
The E-NC version uses a normally closed contact. This means the electrical circuit is closed under normal conditions and opens when the float reaches the switching point. In many industrial control panels, normally closed logic is preferred for safety-oriented monitoring because cable break or signal loss can be detected more easily depending on the circuit design.
Where It Is Used
The Elesa+Ganter 113485 HCK electrical oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power packs, lubrication systems, production machinery, mobile equipment reservoirs and process tanks. It supports visual inspection during routine checks while also providing an electrical signal for automation or alarm systems.

Elesa+Ganter 113485 FAQ
What does NC mean?
NC means normally closed. The contact remains closed during normal operating conditions and opens when the level reaches the switching point.
Why choose NC instead of NO?
NC contact logic is often selected where continuous circuit monitoring is preferred. It can be useful in systems where signal interruption must be detected quickly.
What does FKM add to the product?
FKM sealing supports higher temperature resistance and improved compatibility with many industrial fluids compared with some standard elastomers.
Is the level visible from outside?
Yes. The glass level tube allows direct reading of the fluid level without opening the tank.
