Elesa+Ganter 113517-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NC-STL-KN Electrical Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113517-KN electrical oil level indicator is designed for hydraulic and lubrication systems that require dependable oil level visibility together with electrical monitoring and temperature supervision. This HCK.127 series component combines practical visual inspection with automation-ready electrical functionality.
Understanding the Product Configuration
The configuration code HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NC-STL-KN identifies a 127 mm oil level indicator with stainless steel mounting hardware, M12 electrical connection, FKM sealing and borosilicate glass tube construction. The normally closed electrical contact changes state once the float reaches the defined switching level.
This monitoring principle is frequently used in industrial control systems because NC contacts help operators and PLC systems recognize abnormal conditions quickly. The integrated STL probe adds temperature monitoring capability, helping maintenance teams observe oil operating conditions more effectively.
Advantages in Hydraulic and Lubrication Systems
The Elesa+Ganter 113517-KN HCK.127 electrical oil level indicator supports both manual and automated maintenance processes. Operators can visually inspect oil level directly through the glass tube, while machine systems can receive electrical feedback regarding fluid level and temperature status.
Its FKM sealing material supports long-term resistance against industrial oils and elevated operating temperatures. Stainless steel components improve corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in demanding industrial environments.
The indicator is commonly used in hydraulic reservoirs, industrial lubrication units, oil circulation systems, production machinery and machine tools. For more information about related product groups, visit Elesa+Ganter.
