Elesa+Ganter 114277 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114277 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL oil level indicator is an industrial column-type level indicator designed for monitoring oil levels in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems and machine tanks. Its structure combines visual inspection, robust mounting and material choices suited to demanding production environments.

Technical Overview

The HCK.176 designation identifies the 176 mm fixing centre distance, a common size for medium-scale hydraulic tanks and machinery reservoirs. The M12 connection supports standardized installation, making the unit practical for both replacement projects and new equipment design. The SST section indicates stainless steel fastening elements, helping the product perform reliably in environments where moisture, oil residue or corrosion risk may be present.

The PC code refers to the polycarbonate transparent level window. This allows operators to observe fluid level quickly during routine maintenance. The P code indicates removable transparent front protection, which helps shield the visual column from accidental impact while still allowing clear inspection. This is particularly useful on machines located in active production areas.

STL Configuration and Practical Use

The STL suffix identifies this product as a specific execution within the HCK.176 family. In practice, using the complete stock code is essential because similar HCK models may differ in protection, sensing or temperature-related features. For maintenance documentation and procurement, the full description should be retained to avoid mismatch during replacement.

Applications in Industrial Systems

The Elesa+Ganter 114277 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, gear lubrication systems, presses, machine tools and oil tanks where visual level control is required. Its protected PC structure makes it a practical option for environments where operators need a visible, durable and easy-to-check oil level reference.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 114277 used for?

It is used for visual oil level monitoring in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial machinery reservoirs.

What does P mean in HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL?

P indicates that the model includes transparent removable front protection, helping protect the sight area from accidental contact.

Does this model have an 80°C NO sensor?

No. Unlike the 114275 series variants listed with 80-NO, this stock code is specified as HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL.

Why is the 176 mm centre distance important?

It defines the mounting hole spacing and helps confirm whether the indicator fits the tank or machine panel.

What is the best way to specify this product?

Use the full description: Elesa+Ganter 114277 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL oil level indicator.
