Elesa+Ganter 111026 HCK.176-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111026 oil level indicator, coded as HCK.176-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P, is a robust column-style indicator for hydraulic and lubrication systems. It is designed for applications where visual fluid level control must be supported by high-grade stainless steel hardware and reliable sealing materials.

Technical Specification

This HCK.176 version has a 176 mm fixing centre distance with M12 mounting. The “SST316” reference indicates AISI 316 stainless steel fixing components, a material known for higher corrosion resistance in challenging environments. The “FKM” seals provide advanced resistance to temperature and many industrial fluids. The “GL” marking identifies a borosilicate glass transparent tube, and “P” confirms that the indicator is supplied with front protection.

Why AISI 316 Matters

The Elesa+Ganter 111026 HCK.176-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P oil level indicator is well suited to applications where corrosion protection is a priority. AISI 316 stainless steel is often chosen in environments affected by moisture, cleaning processes, outdoor exposure, or more demanding operating conditions. This makes the model a strong candidate for higher-spec hydraulic assemblies.

Operational Value

A fluid level indicator is not only a visual accessory. It is part of a wider reliability strategy. By allowing operators to inspect reservoir levels quickly, it helps reduce the chance of running pumps with insufficient oil. The protected glass tube improves confidence during routine checks, while FKM sealing supports dependable operation when conditions are more severe than standard workshop use.
