Elesa+Ganter 111024 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111024 oil level indicator, technically listed as HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P, is a protected column oil level indicator developed for industrial hydraulic systems. It is designed to provide a clear visual reading of fluid level while supporting dependable operation in machinery where oil and glycol-based solutions are used.

Technical Features

This model has a 176 mm centre distance and M12 fixing size. The “ZN” specification indicates zinc-plated steel fixing hardware, while “NBR” refers to nitrile rubber sealing rings. The “GL” element identifies a transparent borosilicate glass tube, selected for its clarity and resistance in demanding industrial environments. The “P” configuration includes transparent front protection, helping shield the viewing area from accidental impact.

Material and Design Advantages

The combination of zinc-plated steel fasteners, NBR sealing, and glass level tube makes the Elesa+Ganter 111024 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P oil level indicator suitable for many standard hydraulic applications. The protected design is valuable in workshops, production lines, and mobile equipment areas where the level indicator may be exposed to contact, vibration, or routine handling.

Industrial Application

Accurate oil level visibility is a small but critical part of machine reliability. This indicator allows maintenance personnel to confirm the reservoir level without removing covers or interrupting the system. That simple visual check supports cleaner maintenance, fewer inspection delays, and better protection against fluid starvation.

FAQ

What is the main difference between 111024 and a PC version?

The 111024 model uses a borosilicate glass tube, while PC versions use polycarbonate. Glass is often preferred where chemical clarity, stability, and long-term visibility are important.

What does the P at the end of the code mean?

The P indicates a protected version, meaning the indicator includes front protection to help reduce the risk of accidental damage.

Is Elesa+Ganter 111024 suitable for glycol-based solutions?

Yes, the HCK series is intended for oil and glycol-based solutions, provided the actual operating conditions are compatible with the material specification.

Why is NBR used in this model?

NBR is a practical sealing material for many hydraulic oil applications because it offers reliable resistance to oils and helps maintain sealing integrity.

Where would this oil level indicator be installed?

It is typically installed on hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks, lubrication systems, and machine units where operators need a fast and direct fluid level reading.
