Elesa+Ganter 114275-NP HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-80-NO Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114275-NP HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-80-NO oil level indicator is a technical solution for visual oil level monitoring in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units and industrial machinery. It is part of the HCK.176 family and is configured with a 176 mm mounting centre distance, M12 connection, NBR sealing elements and a polycarbonate level window.

NP Version: Clear Visibility Without Front Protection

The key distinction of this version is the NP code. Unlike P versions, NP indicates that the unit is supplied without transparent front protection. This can be preferred when the installation area is protected by the machine structure itself, when space is limited, or when direct access to the level window is required for inspection.

The PC section refers to the polycarbonate visual column, which allows operators to quickly read the oil level. The white contrast background typically associated with this product family helps make level changes easier to identify during routine checks. The NBR sealing configuration supports use with oil-based fluids in many hydraulic and lubrication applications.

Stainless Steel Fastening and M12 Mounting

The SST designation indicates stainless steel fastening elements. This supports mechanical reliability and corrosion resistance in production facilities, maintenance rooms and hydraulic power unit installations. The M12 mounting format is widely recognized in industrial equipment, helping engineers integrate the unit into standard tank layouts.

80°C Normally Open Temperature Signal

The 80-NO code indicates an 80°C maximum temperature sensor with normally open contact. This feature helps the machine control system receive a signal when the oil temperature reaches the defined threshold. In hydraulic systems, temperature monitoring is valuable because excessive heat may affect oil performance, seals and pump reliability.

Elesa+Ganter 114275-NP FAQ

What does NP mean on Elesa+Ganter 114275-NP?

NP means the indicator is supplied without transparent front protection. It still has the PC level window but does not include the additional removable guard used on P versions.

Is this model suitable for oil monitoring?

Yes. It is designed for oil level indication in hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems and similar industrial reservoirs.

What is the role of the 80-NO feature?

The 80-NO feature provides normally open temperature signalling at 80°C, helping operators or control systems detect elevated oil temperature.

Why choose NP instead of P?

NP may be preferred in cleaner or mechanically protected areas where an additional front guard is not necessary.

What product type should be used in technical documentation?

The recommended product description is Elesa+Ganter 114275-NP HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-80-NO oil level indicator.
