HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-SW Technical Overview

Understanding Elesa+Ganter 114143 Electric Oil Level Indicator

Elsa+Ganter 114143 electric oil level indicator is designed for visual and electrical monitoring of oil levels in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, machine bodies and industrial tanks. The HCK.176 format indicates a 176 mm hole centre distance, making it suitable for compact systems where operators still need a clear and readable level display.

The product code HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-SW defines the technical structure clearly. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers. M12 shows the screw thread size. FKM indicates a VITON-type synthetic rubber O-ring, preferred where oil resistance and higher temperature capability are important. PC refers to the transparent polycarbonate tube, while P indicates a removable polycarbonate front protection that helps keep the viewing area safer and easier to clean.

SW Contact Function and Application Value

The E-SW configuration makes this indicator especially useful where a change-over electrical signal is required. Instead of relying only on manual visual checks, the sensor can support machine-side monitoring and alert logic. This is valuable in hydraulic power packs, oil tanks, CNC auxiliary systems and equipment where low oil level may cause downtime or component wear.

Elesa+Ganter 114143 Where It Is Commonly Used

This model is suitable for oil-based hydraulic applications where clear side visibility, reliable sealing and electrical level feedback are needed. Its aluminium support, polyamide-based ends and protected viewing tube create a practical combination for industrial maintenance teams.
