Elesa+Ganter 114215 Column Level Indicator Technical Guide

Elesa+Ganter 114215 column level indicator, listed as HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-STL, is designed for visual and electrical monitoring of fluid level in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial reservoirs. The HCK.176 size refers to a 176 mm hole centre distance, making it suitable for compact and medium-sized machine tanks where clear level visibility is required.

Technical Structure of HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-STL

This model uses zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers, identified by the ZN code. The M12 thread size supports stable installation on hydraulic tank walls. The FKM sealing rings are a key technical detail, especially where higher temperature resistance and improved compatibility with oils or glycol-based fluids are expected.

The GL code indicates a borosilicate glass transparent tube. This makes the indicator suitable for oil, water and water-glycol solutions. The P structure adds removable polycarbonate front protection, helping protect the level window while still allowing cleaning when needed.

Normally Open Electrical Level Monitoring

The NO marking shows that the electrical contact is normally open. In practical use, this contact logic can support automation systems by sending a signal when the liquid reaches the configured switching point. The STL side output structure helps cable routing in panels or compact hydraulic units.

Where It Is Used

Elesa+Ganter 114215 column level indicator is commonly evaluated for hydraulic power packs, industrial oil tanks, lubrication systems, presses and machinery where operators need both direct level reading and electrical level feedback. For more details, visit the Elesa+Ganter product page.

Elesa+Ganter 114215 FAQ

What does HCK.176 mean?

HCK.176 indicates a column level indicator with a 176 mm hole centre distance.

What is the advantage of FKM sealing?

FKM sealing supports higher temperature resistance and better chemical durability than standard NBR in many industrial applications.

Is this model suitable for glycol-based solutions?

Yes, the GL borosilicate glass tube is suitable for oil, water and water-glycol solutions within the recommended operating conditions.

What does NO mean?

NO means normally open contact. The electrical circuit closes when the defined level condition is reached.
