Elesa+Ganter 113769-KN HCK.127-A4-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-80-NC-KN Electrical Oil Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 113769-KN electrical oil level indicator is a technical monitoring component for hydraulic and lubrication reservoirs where visual level reading and electrical status feedback are both required. The complete code, HCK.127-A4-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-80-NC-KN, defines the exact version: HCK.127 size, A4 stainless steel execution, M12 electrical connection, FKM sealing, NC logic and 80°C temperature monitoring.

Product Construction

The HCK.127 design uses a column-style viewing area that lets maintenance teams inspect the fluid level directly from outside the tank. This is useful because many hydraulic failures begin with low oil level, leakage, foaming, contamination or overheating. A visible indicator gives operators a quick first check before deeper diagnostics are needed.

The A4 reference is associated with stainless steel hardware, suitable for installations exposed to moisture, cleaning processes or more aggressive industrial atmospheres. The transparent PC element supports level visibility, while FKM packing rings improve sealing reliability in applications where temperature and fluid compatibility must be taken seriously.

Electrical Monitoring Features

The M12 connector makes this version practical for automated machines and control systems. The NC contact configuration is useful where the circuit logic is designed around a normally closed signal. The 80°C temperature contact helps identify excessive oil temperature, which may indicate poor cooling, overload, pump issues or insufficient fluid circulation.

Application Value

The Elesa+Ganter 113769-KN electrical oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power packs, lubrication reservoirs, machine tools, production machinery and industrial fluid systems. It is particularly relevant when a simple sight glass is not enough and operators need an indicator that can also provide an electrical warning signal.

Elesa+Ganter 113769-KN FAQ

What does the KN suffix indicate?

The KN suffix identifies a specific catalogue configuration. It should be kept in the ordering code to avoid selecting a similar but different version.

Is this a visual or electrical indicator?

It is both. The HCK.127 body provides visual level indication, while the electrical configuration supports level and temperature signal monitoring.

Why is A4 stainless steel useful?

A4 stainless steel is valued for corrosion resistance, especially where the component may be exposed to humid, washed-down or chemically demanding surroundings.

Can it help prevent machine downtime?

Yes. By making level and temperature conditions easier to observe, it supports preventive maintenance and faster response to abnormal reservoir conditions.
