Elesa+Ganter 111015 HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111015 oil level indicator , stock code HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P, is a stainless steel execution of the HCK.127 series. It is engineered for clear fluid level inspection in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, industrial tanks, and machine systems where stronger corrosion resistance is preferred.

Technical Characteristics

This indicator combines a 127 mm column format with a borosilicate glass transparent tube, allowing operators to monitor the fluid level accurately. The assembly ends are made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer, while the support structure uses aluminium. A white lacquered aluminium contrast screen improves readability and can support level markings during installation.

The “SST” version includes stainless steel fixing parts, giving the component better resistance in humid, demanding, or washdown-prone environments compared with standard zinc-plated executions. The “FKM” sealing rings provide improved resistance to higher temperatures and a broader range of oils and chemical media than standard NBR seals. The “GL” specification makes this indicator suitable for oil, water, and glycol-based solutions when used within appropriate operating limits.

Practical Industrial Value

The Elesa+Ganter 111015 HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P oil level indicator is useful in hydraulic systems where visibility, sealing reliability, and corrosion resistance matter. It supports preventive maintenance by giving technicians a direct visual reference before abnormal oil levels lead to pump cavitation, overheating, seal wear, or unplanned stoppages.

Elesa+Ganter 111015 Stainless Oil Level Indicator FAQ

What makes this model different from the zinc-plated version?

The stainless steel fixing elements offer better resistance in environments where moisture, cleaning processes, or mild corrosive conditions may be present.

Why choose FKM seals?

FKM is often selected when higher thermal resistance and broader chemical compatibility are required compared with NBR.

Can it be used with water-glycol fluids?

Yes, the GL configuration is designed for oil, water, and glycol-based solutions, subject to operating condition verification.

Is this a sensor or a visual indicator?

This product is primarily a visual oil level indicator. Depending on the HCK range configuration, compatible electrical level sensor accessories may be available separately.

Why is side visibility important?

Side visibility lets maintenance teams read the fluid level from practical working angles, especially when tanks are installed inside machine frames.
