Elesa+Ganter 114049-KN HCK-S Column Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114049-KN column oil level indicator, listed as HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-STL-KN, is a technical HCK-S solution for monitoring oil level and temperature in industrial reservoirs. It is engineered for systems where a clear visual oil level check and electrical temperature measurement are needed in one compact component.

Key Technical Characteristics

This model includes a 176 mm fixing distance, M12 connection, galvanized steel screw, nut and washer, NBR sealing ring, transparent borosilicate glass tube, and PT100 temperature electrical probe. The 4-pole M12x1 male connector supports structured wiring and makes integration cleaner in industrial control environments.

Readable Level Indication

The design supports direct level visibility through the tube, while the graduated contrast screen improves the operator’s ability to read the level. For maintenance teams, this is important because a quick visual inspection can reveal low oil level, unusual fluid appearance, or possible system issues before they become costly failures.

PT100 Probe Function

The PT100 probe helps monitor oil temperature. In hydraulic and lubrication systems, oil temperature affects viscosity, component wear, and system efficiency. A temperature probe can help maintenance personnel detect overheating trends and improve service planning.

Practical Use Cases

The Elesa+Ganter 114049-KN HCK-S column oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic reservoirs, machine tools, industrial presses, automation equipment, lubrication skids, and compact power units. It is particularly relevant where electrical feedback is required but visual confirmation remains essential.

Elesa+Ganter 114049-KN FAQ

What is the difference between 114049 and 114049-KN?

Both codes refer to similar HCK-S PT100 probe configurations, while the KN suffix identifies the specific listed variant and ordering reference.

What product type is Elesa+Ganter 114049-KN?

It is a column oil level indicator with electrical temperature probe functionality.

Is this suitable for continuous monitoring?

It can support ongoing temperature feedback and visual inspection, provided installation and operating limits are respected.

Why use a borosilicate glass tube?

It provides clear visibility and strong suitability for industrial fluid level observation compared with basic plastic viewing elements.

Can it help preventive maintenance?

Yes. Visual level reading plus PT100 temperature information can help teams identify abnormal reservoir conditions earlier.
