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

Understanding Elesa+Ganter 114143-KN Electric Oil Level Indicator

Elsa+Ganter 114143-KN electric oil level indicator is a compact HCK.176 level monitoring component developed for industrial oil tanks and hydraulic systems. It combines visual fluid level reading with an electrical switching function, helping maintenance teams detect level changes before they become operational problems.

The 176 mm hole centre distance makes the product practical for medium-size reservoir designs. ZN identifies zinc-plated steel fixing elements, M12 defines the screw thread, FKM refers to VITON-type synthetic rubber O-rings, PC indicates the transparent polycarbonate tube and P shows the removable front protection. This technical combination is suitable for oil service where visibility, sealing and durability are all important.

KN Connector Advantage

The KN suffix is the key difference in this version. It indicates the use of an M12 male connector configuration, which can simplify wiring in modern industrial control panels. For machine builders and maintenance teams, this may support cleaner installation, easier replacement and better compatibility with standard sensor cabling practices.

SW Contact for Flexible Signal Control

The E-SW contact option provides a change-over switching function. This can be helpful in systems where one signal state is used for normal operation and another is used for alarm, shutdown or control feedback. As a result, the indicator is not only a sight glass but also a useful part of preventive maintenance planning.
