Elesa+Ganter 114199 Electric Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114199 electric column level indicator is designed for hydraulic and industrial fluid systems where both visual level reading and electrical minimum-level monitoring are required. The complete product code, HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC-STL, defines a 176 mm HCK column level indicator with zinc-plated steel fixing parts, M12 mounting, FKM seals, borosilicate glass tube, transparent front protection, and a normally closed electrical level contact.

Technical Configuration

The HCK.176 designation refers to the product’s 176 mm fixing centre distance. This size is widely suitable for medium hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs, and machine-mounted fluid containers. The assembly ends are made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer, while the support and contrast screen help improve mechanical stability and readability.

The FKM seal is selected for applications where oil resistance, temperature stability, and fluid compatibility are important. The GL borosilicate glass tube provides a clear view of the liquid level, and the P front protection supports safer use around maintenance areas or compact machinery.

NC Contact Operation

The E-NC-STL section identifies a normally closed electrical level contact. In normal operating conditions, the contact remains closed. When the minimum level is reached, the contact opens. This behaviour is useful in safety-focused monitoring strategies because a broken circuit or level change can be detected by the control system.

The STL layout supports side-oriented sensor positioning, helping machine builders manage cable direction in installations where space is limited.

Application Areas

Elesa+Ganter 114199 product type electric column level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, press machines, central lubrication systems, machine tools, oil circulation units, and automated equipment.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 114199 used for?

It is used to visually monitor fluid level and electrically detect minimum level conditions in hydraulic or industrial fluid tanks.

What does NC contact mean?

NC means normally closed. The circuit remains closed during normal operation and opens when the minimum level threshold is reached.

Why is FKM important?

FKM improves sealing reliability in applications involving oil, temperature changes, and demanding fluid conditions.

What should be checked before installation?

Fluid type, pressure, temperature, tank material, mounting distance, and magnetic field influence should be reviewed before use.
