Elesa+Ganter 11352-R HCX.127-AR-M12 Column Level Indicator
Elesa+Ganter 11352-R HCX.127-AR-M12 column level indicator is a transparent technopolymer fluid level indicator designed for industrial reservoirs where visual monitoring must remain simple, stable, and reliable. The AR execution is especially relevant for systems using fluids containing alcohol, making it a useful option in hydraulic, lubrication, process, and maintenance environments where standard level indicators may not always be suitable.
Technical Overview
This model belongs to the HCX.127 series, which indicates a 127 mm centre distance. The M12 connection format supports secure installation on compatible tanks and reservoirs. Technical distributor data for the HCX.127-M12 family lists a 12.5 mm mounting hole diameter, 12 Nm tightening torque, and 31 mm width. These details are important during panel preparation because correct drilling and tightening help protect the seal and maintain clear level visibility.
Material and Application Suitability
The HCX-AR range is made for use with fluids containing alcohol. Its transparent technopolymer body supports easy fluid reading, while the lens effect improves visibility from practical viewing angles. Ultrasound welding is used to support sealing integrity. In laboratory testing with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C for a limited time, the weld of HCX.127-AR stood up to 13 bar. For real operating conditions, fluid compatibility, temperature, and pressure should always be checked before installation.
Why This Product Matters
In industrial maintenance, a column level indicator is not just a small accessory; it is a daily inspection point. Operators need to confirm fluid level quickly without opening the reservoir. A reliable level indicator reduces unnecessary downtime, supports preventive maintenance, and helps identify abnormal fluid consumption early.

Elesa+Ganter 11352-R FAQ
What is Elesa+Ganter 11352-R HCX.127-AR-M12 used for?
It is used to visually monitor liquid level in tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, and similar industrial systems, especially where fluids may contain alcohol.
What does AR mean in this product code?
AR identifies the execution intended for fluids containing alcohol. This makes it different from standard versions used mainly with oils or common hydraulic fluids.
Is the HCX.127-AR-M12 suitable for every chemical fluid?
No. Although the AR execution is designed for alcohol-containing fluids, each application should be checked against actual fluid composition, pressure, temperature, and operating cycle.
Why is the 127 mm size important?
The 127 mm centre distance determines the mounting geometry. It must match the prepared holes on the reservoir for correct installation and accurate fluid reading.
Does this model support quick visual inspection?
Yes. The transparent body, lens effect, and column-style design help operators check the fluid level from normal inspection positions without opening the system.
