Elesa+Ganter 113497 Column Level Indicator: Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113497 column level indicator, model HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-STL, is a compact electrical level indicator for oil tanks, hydraulic reservoirs and lubrication systems. It combines direct visual level reading with a normally open electrical contact, giving operators and control systems a practical way to monitor minimum fluid level.

Technical Features

This product uses a 127 mm hole-centre configuration and M12 threaded mounting. The SST section of the code refers to stainless steel fixing elements, while FKM identifies the sealing material. The GL tube is made for transparent fluid level observation, and the front protection helps shield the viewing area from routine industrial handling.

The “E-NO-STL” section is especially important. “E” indicates the electrical level sensor, “NO” means normally open contact, and “STL” identifies the lateral output version. In use, the contact logic allows a control system to react when the float reaches the defined minimum level zone. This makes the unit relevant for preventive maintenance, hydraulic safety checks and machine availability planning.

Application Context

The Elesa+Ganter 113497 column level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, oil circulation systems, industrial machinery and reservoirs where visual confirmation alone is not enough. The operator can read the level directly, while the electrical contact can support alarms, PLC input or machine protection logic.

FAQ

What product type is Elesa+Ganter 113497?

It is a column level indicator with an electrical minimum level contact.

What does normally open mean?

Normally open means the contact is open during normal conditions and changes state when the triggering level condition is reached.

Why choose a glass tube version?

The borosilicate glass tube provides a clear, stable viewing window for checking oil or compatible fluid levels.

Is this model only visual?

No. It provides visual level reading and an electrical level signal, making it more functional than a basic sight glass.
