Elesa+Ganter 113493-KN Column Level Indicator: Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113493-KN column level indicator is designed for applications where fluid visibility, electrical level monitoring and temperature-related signalling must work together in a compact hydraulic accessory. Its full reference, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC-80-NC-KN, describes a 127 mm column level indicator with stainless steel fixing hardware, M12 threaded connections, FKM sealing rings, a borosilicate glass level tube and normally closed electrical contacts.

Technical Construction

The SST configuration indicates stainless steel screw and fastening components, supporting reliable use in industrial environments where corrosion resistance and mechanical stability matter. The FKM seal is suitable for higher temperature sealing requirements compared with standard rubber options. The GL section refers to the transparent borosilicate glass tube, chosen for clear level inspection and strong chemical stability in compatible media.

This model is part of the HCK-E family, meaning it is not only a visual oil level indicator but also an electrical monitoring component. The NC level contact is useful where the circuit logic must react when the fluid level reaches the minimum threshold. The “80-NC” section identifies a temperature contact set around 80°C with normally closed logic, helping maintenance teams track abnormal operating conditions in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial reservoirs.

Where It Is Used

The Elesa+Ganter 113493-KN column level indicator is commonly evaluated for hydraulic power packs, machine tool reservoirs, lubrication systems, industrial oil tanks and equipment where operators need a quick visual check plus an electrical signal. The 127 mm hole-centre layout makes it practical for compact tanks and control panels.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113493-KN used for?

It is used to monitor fluid level visually while also providing electrical signalling for minimum level and temperature conditions.

What does NC mean in this product code?

NC means normally closed. In practical control systems, this contact logic is often selected when a signal change must be detected if the level or temperature threshold is reached.

Why is FKM important?

FKM is selected for sealing performance in applications where temperature resistance and compatibility with oils or suitable fluids are important.

What does GL mean?

GL identifies the borosilicate glass tube, which provides clear visual reading of the fluid column.
