Elesa+Ganter 114211-KN Oil Level Indicator for Hydraulic Tank Monitoring

The Elesa+Ganter 114211-KN oil level indicator, listed as HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NC-80-NC-KN, is a technical monitoring component for hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks, and industrial lubrication systems. It combines a clear visual level indication with normally closed electrical contact functionality, making it suitable for equipment where reliability and condition awareness are operational priorities.

Technical Specification Profile

The HCK.176 format identifies the 176 mm fixing centre distance of the column-type indicator. This dimension is important for replacement projects, machine design, and tank preparation. The M12 mounting format supports secure installation on industrial reservoirs, while zinc-plated steel fixing parts provide mechanical strength in standard industrial environments.

FKM sealing is one of the key technical advantages of this model. It supports use in environments where oil resistance, temperature stability, and sealing reliability are important. The GL glass tube design offers a clear visual reading area and helps operators check the fluid level without opening the tank.

NC Contact and 80°C Monitoring Relevance

The NC-80-NC structure indicates normally closed contact logic with an 80°C switching reference. In hydraulic systems, temperature is not a secondary detail. Excessive oil temperature may reduce viscosity, increase oxidation, weaken lubrication performance, and shorten component life. A level indicator with this contact structure can support machine protection, alarm circuits, or maintenance planning.

The Elesa+Ganter 114211-KN HCK.176 oil level indicator is often selected when the exact KN execution is required for technical documentation, procurement accuracy, or replacement consistency. Using the complete product code helps avoid confusion with NO contact versions or models without the same switching configuration.
