ELESA+GANTER 114277-NP-KN HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-STL-KN Oil Level Indicator

The ELESA+GANTER 114277-NP-KN HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-STL-KN oil level indicator is designed for industrial fluid monitoring systems where reliable oil level visibility and integrated temperature sensing are required. Built with stainless steel fastening components and a polycarbonate level column, this indicator supports stable operation in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems and machine tanks.

Industrial Design Characteristics

The HCK.176 platform is known for its column-type viewing structure and 176 mm mounting centre distance. This dimension provides an extended visual monitoring area without increasing installation complexity. The M12 threaded mounting layout allows compatibility with many industrial tank configurations used in manufacturing and processing equipment.

The NP version is supplied without front protection. This design choice is useful for installations where direct visibility and simplified access are preferred. The polycarbonate viewing column still delivers clear fluid level monitoring while maintaining compact integration within the machinery.

Temperature Monitoring Capability

The STL probe configuration enables simultaneous temperature observation within the oil reservoir. Monitoring oil temperature is important because thermal fluctuation may influence lubrication quality, fluid viscosity and hydraulic efficiency. Maintenance personnel often use these indicators to identify operational abnormalities before major performance issues appear.

Material and Sealing Performance

NBR seals are commonly selected for mineral oil environments because they support dependable sealing performance under standard industrial operating conditions. Stainless steel mounting hardware improves durability in humid or oil-intensive environments where corrosion resistance is necessary.
