Elesa+Ganter 11043 HCV.76-STL-M10 Column Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11043 HCV.76-STL-M10 column level indicator is engineered for hydraulic systems that require reliable oil level visibility and temperature measurement through a probe-based design. It belongs to the HCV.76 family, a compact series widely used on reservoirs, hydraulic power packs, machine tools, and industrial equipment requiring fast fluid status checks.
Technical Overview
This model features a 76 mm mounting centre distance and an M10 connection format. The STL version is designed with a temperature probe function, allowing the system to monitor oil temperature more precisely than a purely visual indicator. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 11043 HCV.76-STL-M10 column level indicator valuable in equipment where oil temperature influences reliability, lubrication performance, and component service life.
The transparent technopolymer body provides direct visual access to the fluid level. Its lens-effect viewing area improves readability from side positions, which is a practical advantage when the indicator is installed on compact tanks or partially recessed machine panels.
Why Temperature Monitoring Matters
Hydraulic oil temperature can affect viscosity, seal life, pump performance, and overall machine efficiency. A level indicator with a temperature probe helps maintenance teams evaluate both the presence and condition of the oil. This can reduce the risk of overheating, poor lubrication, and unplanned downtime.
The HCV.76-STL-M10 is therefore suitable for operators who need more than a simple sight glass. It provides a structured way to observe hydraulic fluid behaviour and support data-informed maintenance routines.
Common Applications
This product is commonly used in hydraulic reservoirs, compact hydraulic units, industrial automation systems, lubrication circuits, machine tools, and mobile or stationary equipment where oil level and temperature data are relevant to safe operation.

Elesa+Ganter 11043 FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 11043 used for?
It is used to visually monitor oil level while enabling temperature measurement through an integrated probe function.
What type of product is HCV.76-STL-M10?
It is a column level indicator with a temperature probe, designed for hydraulic system accessories and oil reservoir monitoring.
Why choose an STL version instead of a basic level indicator?
The STL version is useful when temperature information is needed in addition to visual level inspection.
Is the 76 mm size important?
Yes. The 76 mm centre distance helps define installation compatibility with the tank or reservoir mounting points.
Can this product support maintenance planning?
Yes. By observing both oil level and temperature, maintenance teams can better detect operating changes and schedule inspections before failures occur.
