Elesa+Ganter 11042-KN HCV.76-ST-NC-M10-KN Electrical Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11042-KN HCV.76-ST-NC-M10-KN electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems where clear oil level visibility and temperature-related electrical monitoring are both important. As part of the HCV.76 series, this component combines a transparent technopolymer body with an integrated temperature contact function, helping operators observe fluid level conditions while supporting machine protection routines.
Technical Overview
This model is an HCV.76-ST-NC-M10-KN column level indicator with M10 mounting configuration and a 76 mm centre distance. The ST version is associated with a maximum temperature electrical sensor, while the NC configuration refers to a normally closed contact arrangement. In practical terms, it is suitable for applications where a signal is required when a preset temperature condition is reached.
The transparent body supports direct visual inspection of the oil level. Its lens-effect design improves readability, even when the operator views the reservoir from an angle. This is especially useful in hydraulic power units, lubrication systems, industrial machinery, and compact equipment panels where fast inspection matters.
Elesa+Ganter 11042-KN Material and Application Benefits
The technopolymer construction helps reduce weight while maintaining the durability expected in industrial environments. The sealed structure is intended to support dependable operation in oil-based hydraulic applications. For maintenance teams, the combination of visual indication and electrical signalling can help identify abnormal operating conditions before they become costly failures.
The Elesa+Ganter 11042-KN HCV.76-ST-NC-M10-KN electrical level indicator is not simply a viewing window. It is a monitoring component that supports preventive maintenance, safer machine operation, and more consistent hydraulic system control.
Where It Is Commonly Used
This indicator is typically selected for hydraulic reservoirs, machine tools, industrial presses, compact hydraulic packs, lubrication units, and equipment where temperature supervision is required alongside oil level observation. Its format makes it suitable for installations where space, visibility, and signal integration need to be balanced.
