Elesa+Ganter 11353 HCX.127-SST-M12 Column Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 11353 HCX.127-SST-M12 column level indicator is a stainless-steel screw execution designed for industrial fluid level monitoring. It combines a transparent technopolymer body with AISI 303 stainless steel screws, AISI 304 nuts and washers, and FKM sealing rings. This makes it a practical choice where durability, sealing performance, and chemical resistance are important selection criteria.

Technical Characteristics

The HCX.127-SST-M12 belongs to the 127 mm centre distance level indicator range. The M12 connection allows installation on compatible reservoir walls, while listed HCX.127-M12 dimensional data includes a 12.5 mm mounting hole diameter, 12 Nm tightening torque, and 31 mm width. These installation values help ensure the indicator is correctly seated and the sealing ring is not overstressed.

Stainless Steel and FKM Advantage

The SST execution is selected when stainless steel fastening elements and FKM packing rings are preferred over basic configurations. FKM is commonly valued in industrial sealing because it offers strong resistance in demanding oil and fluid environments. The white lacquered aluminium contrast screen improves readability while remaining outside direct fluid contact.

Performance Notes

The HCX-SST range is designed for clear fluid level visibility, including side viewing positions. The lens effect improves reading quality, while ultrasound welding supports sealing reliability. Laboratory data states that the weld of HCX.127-SST stood up to 18 bar with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C for a limited time. Maximum continuous working temperature is listed as 90°C with oil, but real operating conditions must always be validated.

Elesa+Ganter 11353 FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 11353 HCX.127-SST-M12 used for?

It is used for visual liquid level monitoring in industrial reservoirs, hydraulic tanks, oil systems, and lubrication equipment.

What makes the SST version different?

The SST version uses stainless steel screws with stainless steel nuts and washers, along with FKM sealing rings. This supports better durability in demanding environments.

Can it be used with hot oil?

The HCX-SST range lists a maximum continuous working temperature of 90°C with oil. However, the actual fluid, pressure, and installation conditions should be checked before use.

Why is FKM sealing useful?

FKM sealing rings are often chosen for applications involving oils, additives, and more demanding fluid environments where standard seals may not be preferred.

Is this product easy to inspect visually?

Yes. The transparent body, contrast screen, and lens effect help operators read the fluid level clearly during routine maintenance checks.
