Elesa+Ganter 114179 HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO Column Level Indicator
Elesa+Ganter 114179 column level indicator is a technical component for visual fluid level reading and electrical status monitoring in hydraulic and industrial reservoir systems. The full product code, HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO, defines a HCK.176 column level indicator with 176 mm centre distance, M12 threads, FKM sealing, borosilicate glass viewing tube, polycarbonate front protection and an 80°C normally open contact.
Designed for Clear Fluid Level Reading
Column level indicators are preferred when operators need a direct visual reference on a tank wall. The HCK.176 size provides a balanced viewing length for compact and medium-sized hydraulic reservoirs. Its 176 mm centre distance supports predictable mounting, while the M12 thread format fits common industrial installation requirements.
Material and Sealing Features
The GL configuration uses a borosilicate glass tube. This material is used for applications involving oil, water and water-glycol based solutions, provided the operating conditions match the product limits. The P code indicates transparent polycarbonate front protection, which helps protect the tube from external contact and can be removed for cleaning.
FKM sealing rings are used where higher resistance to temperature and compatible fluids is required. The ZN code identifies zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers, offering a practical fixing solution for standard industrial environments.
80°C NO Contact Function
The 80-NO section indicates a normally open contact linked to an 80°C monitoring point. In a normally open configuration, the contact is open in its standard state and changes when the defined condition is reached. This is useful where the control system expects a signal only after the set threshold is triggered.
Application Areas
This model is commonly considered for hydraulic systems, oil reservoirs, lubrication units, industrial machines and process equipment. For more technical category details, visit Elesa+Ganter range.
