Elesa+Ganter 111021 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111021 oil level indicator , stock code HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P, is a column-type visual level indicator designed for industrial oil monitoring. With its 176 mm size, it provides a longer visible level range than compact HCK.127 executions, making it suitable for larger hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, and machine reservoirs.

Technical Features

This HCK model uses glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer assembly ends and a natural aluminium support. The graduated contrast screen is made from white lacquered aluminium and can assist operators in reading the fluid level more clearly. The “PC” configuration includes transparent polycarbonate front protection, helping protect the indicator from accidental impact while keeping the fluid column visible.

The “ZN” code indicates zinc-plated steel fixing elements, while “M12” defines the mounting thread. “NBR” refers to nitrile rubber sealing rings, a common sealing choice for oil-based industrial fluids. The 176 mm format is particularly valuable when a broader level indication range is needed for maintenance checks and operational monitoring.

Industrial Application Areas

The Elesa+Ganter 111021 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P oil level indicator is often used in hydraulic power packs, compressors, gearboxes, lubrication units, and industrial machinery where routine visual inspection is part of the maintenance workflow. By showing the oil level directly, it reduces the need to open tanks and helps prevent contamination.

Elesa+Ganter 111021 HCK.176 Oil Level Indicator FAQ

What is this oil level indicator used for?

It is used to visually monitor oil level inside tanks, reservoirs, and hydraulic systems without opening the container.

Why choose the 176 mm version?

The 176 mm size gives a longer viewing range, which can be useful for larger tanks or systems requiring broader level visibility.

What does PC mean in the product code?

PC refers to polycarbonate front protection, designed to help protect the indicator from accidental shocks while maintaining visibility.

Is NBR suitable for hydraulic oil?

Yes, NBR is commonly used with mineral oils and many hydraulic fluids, but final compatibility should be checked against operating conditions.

Can this product improve maintenance routines?

Yes. It allows fast, repeatable visual checks, helping teams identify low oil levels, leaks, or refill requirements before failures occur.
