Elesa+Ganter 113741-KN HCK.127 Electrical Oil Level Indicator

Product Definition

The Elesa+Ganter 113741-KN electrical oil level indicator is a compact HCK.127 column indicator with electrical level detection. Its complete code, HCK.127-A4-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NO-KN, defines a 127 mm hole centre distance, M12 fixing, FKM sealing rings, polycarbonate tube, removable transparent front protection, float-based E sensor, and normally open contact.

This model is intended for machinery where the operator needs both visual confirmation and an electrical signal related to fluid level. It is a practical component for hydraulic power packs, lubrication systems, industrial tanks, and machine reservoirs.

Construction and Materials

The indicator body uses reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer assembly ends with an aluminium support and a white graduated contrast screen. This design improves readability and helps operators quickly identify whether the oil level is within the expected range.

The FKM sealing rings provide strong temperature and oil resistance. The polycarbonate level tube gives a clear view of the fluid column, while the removable front protection helps reduce exposure to accidental contact during maintenance.

Normally Open Level Sensor

The E-NO configuration is one of the key features of this model. The internal float activates the electrical contact when the defined level threshold is reached. Because the contact is normally open, it closes during the switching event.

This makes the Elesa+Ganter 113741-KN HCK.127 electrical oil level indicator useful in preventive maintenance systems. A control panel can detect level status and support alarms, shutdown logic, or operator notifications depending on the machine design.

Installation Considerations

The HCK.127 layout uses a 127 mm hole centre distance and M12 threaded mounting. Correct tightening, seal compatibility, and tank preparation are important for dependable performance. The device should not be placed near strong magnetic fields because sensor operation depends on magnetic interaction.
