Elesa+Ganter 11351 HCX.127-M12 Column Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 11351 HCX.127-M12 column level indicator is designed for visual monitoring of liquid levels in hydraulic tanks, lubrication reservoirs and industrial machinery. The code HCX.127-M12 indicates a 127 mm column level indicator with M12 fixing configuration.

Unlike electrical level indicators, this model is focused on simple and reliable visual inspection. It gives operators a direct view of the fluid level, helping maintenance teams detect abnormal consumption, leakage or insufficient filling before damage occurs.

Material and Design Features

The HCX series is known for transparent technopolymer construction, giving the indicator good impact resistance and clear level visibility. The M12 fixing arrangement supports stable mounting on tanks and machine panels. Product listings commonly identify this model as a column level indicator with M12 connection, 12.5 mm mounting hole diameter and 12 Nm tightening torque reference.

The indicator is generally used with oils and compatible industrial fluids. As with all level indicators, the actual fluid, temperature, pressure and cleaning method should be checked before installation. Alcohol-based cleaners or incompatible chemicals may affect transparent materials, so maintenance procedures should follow the correct material guidance.

Where It Is Commonly Used

The Elesa+Ganter 11351 HCX.127-M12 column level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power packs, compact reservoirs, lubrication systems, machine tools and general industrial fluid tanks. Its value comes from fast visual confirmation: an operator can inspect the level without opening the tank or stopping the system unnecessarily.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 11351 used for?

It is used to visually monitor liquid level in tanks, reservoirs and hydraulic systems.

Is HCX.127-M12 an electrical level indicator?

No. This model is primarily a visual column level indicator and does not include an electrical contact in the standard code shown.

What does 127 mean in HCX.127-M12?

It refers to the 127 mm size class, commonly associated with the mounting hole-centre distance of the indicator.

Why is visual level monitoring important?

Visual level monitoring helps operators identify low fluid levels, leaks or abnormal consumption before they cause equipment failure.

Can this product be used in hydraulic systems?

Yes. It is commonly used in hydraulic reservoirs and similar industrial fluid systems, provided the fluid and operating conditions are compatible.
