Elegantly Monitoring Hydraulic Oil Levels with Elesa+Ganter 113617-KN Electrical Oil Level Indicator

Product Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113617-KN electrical oil level indicator, identified as HCK.127-A4-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NO-80-NO-KN, is designed for hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial reservoirs where visual level checking and electrical minimum level monitoring are both required. The HCK.127 format refers to a 127 mm hole centre distance, making it suitable for compact machinery where reliable fluid visibility must be maintained without overcomplicating the installation.

Technical Construction

This version uses M12 mounting threads, A4 stainless steel hardware, NBR sealing rings and a transparent polycarbonate tube for oil service. The removable polycarbonate front protection helps shield the level window from direct contact, dust and routine handling during maintenance. In real plant environments, this combination gives operators a clear view of the oil level while supporting dependable mechanical installation.

Electrical Function

The “E-NO” configuration indicates an electrical minimum level sensor with a normally open contact. In practical terms, the contact closes when the minimum level is reached. This makes the unit useful for warning circuits, PLC inputs or machine protection systems that need a clear low-level signal before a reservoir runs too low. The KN version also reflects the dedicated connection layout used in this execution.

Where It Is Commonly Used

Typical applications include hydraulic power packs, machine tools, industrial presses, lubrication systems, mobile equipment and process machinery. The product is especially relevant when maintenance teams need both a direct visual reading and a simple electrical alert. For more Elesa+Ganter technical options, visit Elesa+Ganter components.
