Elesa+Ganter 114047-KN HCK-S Column Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114047-KN column oil level indicator, coded as HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-80-NO-KN, is designed for applications where visual level reading and electrical temperature monitoring are needed in the same assembly. It is commonly associated with hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, industrial tanks, and machinery where operators must quickly verify fluid condition.

Technical Overview

This HCK-S version features a 176 mm fixing distance, M12 connection, NBR sealing ring, galvanized steel screw, nut and washer, and a transparent borosilicate glass tube. The integrated 80°C temperature sensor supports normally open contact logic, making the unit suitable for systems where a signal is required when a defined temperature threshold is reached.

The construction follows the HCK family concept: glass-fibre reinforced polyamide technopolymer ends, a natural aluminium support, and a graduated contrast screen that improves readability. This helps maintenance teams check oil level from different viewing angles without relying only on electronic feedback.

Where This Product Is Used

The Elesa+Ganter 114047-KN HCK-S column oil level indicator is relevant for hydraulic power units, machine tool reservoirs, mobile equipment, compact lubrication units, and industrial automation systems. Its combination of visual monitoring and sensor output makes it practical for preventive maintenance routines.

Why M12 Connection Matters

The 4-pole M12x1 male connector is widely used in industrial environments because it supports secure wiring, easier replacement, and cleaner integration into control panels. In real-world maintenance, this can reduce downtime when replacing or checking components.
