Elesa+Ganter 113501-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-KN Electrical Level Indicator
Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 113501-KN electrical level indicator is part of the HCK.127 family and is designed for fluid level monitoring in industrial reservoirs, hydraulic tanks and lubrication equipment. The full reference, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-KN, describes a 127 mm column level indicator with stainless steel hardware, M12 mounting, FKM sealing, a borosilicate glass tube, transparent front protection and a normally open electrical level function.
The KN version is relevant for modern machine layouts where a compact connector-based configuration is preferred. In practice, this helps simplify integration into control cabinets, sensor lines and maintenance routines. It keeps the practical benefits of the HCK.127 body while supporting cleaner electrical connection management.
Elesa+Ganter 113501-KN Construction and Materials
The GL transparent tube is made for use with oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions. It gives operators a clear view of the liquid column and supports quick visual inspection during routine checks. The removable polycarbonate front protection helps protect the viewing area against accidental knocks and can be removed when cleaning is required.
The SST code indicates AISI 303 stainless steel screws with AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 113501-KN electrical level indicator a strong candidate for machinery exposed to demanding industrial conditions. The FKM O-ring supports sealing performance in higher-temperature fluid applications, with suitability always checked against the actual fluid and operating conditions.
Where It Is Used
This product type is typically used in hydraulic power packs, lubrication tanks, oil circulation systems, mobile machinery, production equipment and industrial service units. It is particularly useful when the maintenance team wants a visible oil level indicator and the automation team needs a normally open electrical signal from the same assembly.

Elesa+Ganter 113501-KN FAQ
What makes the Elesa+Ganter 113501-KN different from 113501?
Both belong to the same HCK.127 technical family and use a normally open level function. The KN suffix identifies a connector-related configuration, which may be preferred in machine designs that rely on compact plug-in wiring.
Is this a visual or electrical level indicator?
It is both. The transparent column allows direct visual checking, while the electrical level contact can provide a signal when the monitored level condition changes.
What does HCK.127 mean?
HCK is the product family, and 127 refers to the 127 mm fixing hole centre distance. This size is widely used in medium and compact tank applications.
Can it be used with glycol-based solutions?
Yes, the GL tube configuration is intended for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions, provided the final application conditions are suitable.
Why choose a normally open version?
A normally open contact is often selected when the control system is designed to detect a closing signal at a defined level condition. It is a common choice for straightforward monitoring logic.
