Elesa+Ganter 11041 HCV.76-ST-NO-M10 Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11041 HCV.76-ST-NO-M10 level indicator combines visual oil level inspection with an electrical signal linked to maximum temperature. It is intended for hydraulic and lubrication systems where both fluid visibility and thermal monitoring are important for operational continuity. In compact industrial systems, this dual function can reduce the need for separate monitoring components.
What the HCV.76-ST-NO-M10 Does
This model belongs to the HCV-ST column level indicator range. It provides visual level control and also generates an electrical signal when the pre-set maximum temperature of 80°C is reached. The NO execution means the electrical contact closes when that temperature threshold is reached. That is a useful signal behavior in alarm, control, or machine protection logic.
Technical Characteristics
The HCV-ST series uses a transparent technopolymer body for clear level visibility, with ultrasound welding for sealing integrity. The sensor bracket is made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer, and the standard version includes a swivelling connector with cable gland and contact holder. The product is rated for IP65 protection against water spray when properly assembled, and its maximum continuous working temperature is 90°C with oil.
Elesa+Ganter 11041 Dimensional and Performance Data
For the 11041 code, the product designation is HCV.76-ST-NO-M10. The hole centre distance is 76 mm, the thread is M10, and the technical table lists key dimensional values including A 20, B 19.5, C 30.5, H 55, L 102, e 43.5, l 20, l1 26.5, and a maximum tightening torque of 12 Nm. In laboratory tests with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C for a limited period, the weld stood up to 18 bar for HCV.76 versions.
Where This Indicator Is Useful
This model is a sensible choice for reservoirs where operators need a clear visual reading but also want a temperature-triggered electrical output. It fits well in hydraulic power packs, processing machines, lubrication circuits, and industrial enclosures where overheating can affect fluid performance.
Elesa+Ganter 11041 FAQ
What does NO mean in HCV.76-ST-NO-M10?
NO means normally open. On this model, the contact closes when the pre-set temperature of 80°C is reached.
Does this product measure fluid level electronically?
No. The ST version adds an electrical signal for maximum temperature, while the fluid level itself remains visually readable through the transparent body.
What is the continuous working temperature?
The maximum continuous working temperature is 90°C when used with oil.
Is the body pressure-resistant?
The technical documentation states that, in limited laboratory testing with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C, the weld withstood 18 bar for HCV.76 models.
Where is this type of indicator commonly installed?
It is commonly used on hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, and machinery reservoirs where visual monitoring and over-temperature signalling are both valuable.
