Elesa+Ganter 114045-KN HCK.176 GL-P-80-NC-KN Oil Level Indicator
Elesa+Ganter 114045-KN oil level indicator is a protected glass-column level indicator for industrial tanks and hydraulic systems. The complete reference, HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-80-NC-KN, shows that this model has a 176 mm mounting centre distance, M12 connection, zinc-plated steel fittings, NBR sealing, borosilicate glass tube, front protection, 80°C normally closed temperature monitoring and KN connection configuration.
How This Model Differs from Standard Visual Indicators
A simple sight glass only allows an operator to check the level manually. The Elesa+Ganter 114045-KN HCK.176 GL oil level indicator adds a more structured technical profile by combining visual level reading with temperature contact integration. This makes it suitable for machines where operators need fast inspection and control panels need a clear temperature signal.
Material and Mounting Details
The GL tube is made for clear visibility, while the P front protection helps guard the column against accidental impact. The M12 mounting format is widely used in hydraulic tanks and industrial reservoirs. ZN indicates zinc-plated steel hardware, and NBR sealing is suitable for many oil-based applications.
The KN suffix is important for applications where wiring layout, service access or connection standardization matters. In maintenance-heavy environments, clearly defined connection versions help reduce installation errors and simplify replacement.

Operational Value
In hydraulic equipment, low oil level and excessive temperature are common causes of downtime. This indicator supports routine inspection and early warning strategies. It can be used on hydraulic power packs, industrial automation equipment, presses, lubrication systems and production machinery where reliable reservoir monitoring is part of standard maintenance planning.
