Elesa+Ganter 11378-R Level Indicator with Thermometer
Elesa+Ganter 11378-R level indicator, also known as HCX.127/T-AR-PT-SST-M12, is a column-type level indicator designed for visual fluid level monitoring and temperature reading in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, and industrial tanks. This model combines a transparent polyamide-based technopolymer body, an integrated thermometer, and a protective frame for safer observation in demanding machine environments.
Technical Overview of HCX.127/T-AR-PT-SST-M12
The 127 mm hole-centre distance makes this indicator suitable for medium-sized tanks where compact installation and clear visibility are both required. The M12 mounting connection supports stable assembly, while the AISI 303 stainless steel screws and AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers improve durability in industrial settings. The FKM sealing ring is selected for stronger resistance against oils, additives, and higher-temperature operating conditions compared with many standard rubber seals.
The transparent PA-T/AR technopolymer body is engineered for good resistance to shock, UV exposure, solvents, oils with additives, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha, phosphoric esters, and detergents containing alcohol. The black glass-fibre reinforced SUPER-technopolymer protection frame helps absorb shocks and transfers them toward the tank wall, reducing direct stress on the visual indicator body.
Visibility, Temperature Reading and Installation
One of the main advantages of the Elesa+Ganter 11378-R HCX.127/T-AR-PT-SST-M12 level indicator is its combined level and temperature monitoring capability. The built-in thermometer provides a practical temperature reference during routine maintenance checks. The lens effect of the transparent body improves fluid level visibility, while the frame openings allow viewing from side positions. This is useful when the tank is installed inside a compact machine layout.
The model includes a white lacquered aluminium contrast screen, which helps operators read the oil level more clearly. Before installation, the screen can be removed to add level marks or words such as minimum and maximum. This makes the indicator easier to adapt to specific reservoir control requirements.
Where This Level Indicator Is Commonly Used
The Elesa+Ganter 11378-R level indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power packs, lubrication systems, industrial machinery, mobile equipment reservoirs, and process support units. It is especially useful when operators need to check oil level and temperature without opening the tank. For broader technical context, visit Elesa+Ganter components.
Elesa+Ganter 11378-R FAQ
What is the product type of Elesa+Ganter 11378-R?
It is a level indicator with thermometer and protection frame. The full model reference is HCX.127/T-AR-PT-SST-M12.
What does the 127 in HCX.127 mean?
It refers to the 127 mm hole-centre distance, which defines the mounting spacing between the two connection points.
Why is the SST version important?
The SST version uses stainless steel fastening elements, including AISI 303 screws and AISI 304 nuts and washers. This improves suitability for industrial environments where corrosion resistance is important.
Does this model show temperature?
Yes. The /T version includes an integrated thermometer for temperature reading while checking the fluid level.
Is this indicator suitable for oils with additives?
Yes, the PA-T/AR transparent technopolymer body is designed to resist oils with additives and several demanding fluid types. Actual compatibility should always be checked against the working fluid and operating conditions.
