Elesa+Ganter 114205 HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-SW Column Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 114205 column level indicator is an industrial liquid monitoring component designed for hydraulic systems, machine reservoirs, lubrication tanks, and industrial process equipment. The full code HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-SW represents a 176 mm column level indicator equipped with zinc-plated steel fastening elements, M12 mounting, FKM sealing, borosilicate glass tube, protective front section, high-temperature float arrangement, and SW electrical execution.

Industrial Liquid Level Monitoring

In many industrial systems, maintaining the correct liquid level is essential for stable machine operation. Hydraulic units, lubrication systems, and coolant reservoirs depend on sufficient fluid volume to protect pumps, bearings, valves, and moving components. A visible column level indicator provides maintenance teams with a direct and reliable method of monitoring liquid condition during operation.

The HCK.176 design offers a practical 176 mm centre distance that suits many industrial tank layouts. Because the unit combines visual monitoring with electrical functionality, it supports both manual inspection and automated system control.

Material and Construction Details

The ZN configuration includes zinc-plated steel fastening components that help improve corrosion resistance in industrial environments. The M12 mounting connection supports compatibility with standard industrial installation layouts and simplifies maintenance replacement procedures.

FKM seals are selected for applications involving oil exposure, elevated temperatures, and demanding operating conditions. Compared with conventional sealing materials, FKM offers improved thermal and chemical durability. The GL borosilicate glass tube ensures a clear reading area while supporting good resistance against heat and industrial wear.

SW Electrical Configuration

The SW designation identifies a dedicated electrical switching configuration used within the HCK-E product family. This enables the level indicator to interact with machine monitoring systems, warning circuits, or automated process controls depending on the application design. Electrical level feedback can help operators identify fluid level issues before machine reliability is affected.
