Elesa+Ganter 114153 HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NO-STL Electric Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 114153 HCK.176 electric oil level indicator is engineered for industrial applications requiring both visual fluid inspection and electrical monitoring. This model combines a transparent oil level column with a normally open switching contact, helping operators supervise lubrication and hydraulic systems more efficiently.
Technical Features
The unit features a 176 mm centre distance and M12 threaded mounting configuration, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial tanks and reservoirs. The housing includes zinc-plated metal components and a durable polycarbonate tube for clear fluid visibility.
An important feature of this version is the FKM sealing system. FKM seals are widely used in industrial environments because they offer strong resistance against oils, lubricants and elevated temperatures. This contributes to longer operational stability in demanding hydraulic systems.
The model is equipped with a normally open electrical contact. In practical operation, the NO contact activates when the fluid reaches the specified monitoring point, making it suitable for automated warning or signaling systems.
Industrial Applications
The Elesa+Ganter 114153 oil level indicator is commonly installed in hydraulic power packs, industrial lubrication units, machine reservoirs and fluid management systems. It helps maintenance teams visually inspect fluid conditions while also supporting electrical level detection.

Why This Oil Level Indicator Matters
Reliable oil monitoring is essential in industrial systems where insufficient lubrication can lead to overheating, equipment wear or operational downtime. By integrating electrical level signaling and transparent visual monitoring into one compact assembly, this model helps simplify maintenance procedures and improve operational awareness.
FAQ
What is the function of the Elesa+Ganter 114153?
This product is an electric oil level indicator used to monitor fluid levels inside hydraulic or lubrication reservoirs.
What does NO contact mean?
NO stands for normally open. The electrical circuit changes state when the monitored fluid reaches the switching point.
Why is FKM sealing important?
FKM sealing provides resistance against oils, chemicals and higher operating temperatures, helping improve durability in industrial environments.
Can this model be used in hydraulic systems?
Yes. It is specifically designed for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication tanks and industrial fluid monitoring applications.
What material is used for the transparent section?
The indicator uses a polycarbonate tube, which provides visibility and mechanical durability during operation.
