Elesa+Ganter 111051 HCK.508-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P Oil Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 111051 HCK.508-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P oil level indicator is a long-format visual level monitoring component for hydraulic systems, oil tanks and industrial machinery. With a 508 mm hole centre distance and M12 fixing thread, this model is suitable for larger reservoirs where a wider level reading range is required.

This configuration uses a transparent polycarbonate tubular window, designed for oil applications. The PC window allows operators to monitor the fluid level clearly, while the front polycarbonate protection adds an additional layer of shielding and can be removed for cleaning. This makes the product practical for machinery exposed to dust, oil residue or routine maintenance activity.

Construction and Technical Features

The ZN configuration refers to zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers. This provides a practical fastening solution for general industrial environments. The NBR synthetic rubber O-rings are suitable for oil-based applications and are commonly used where standard hydraulic and lubrication oils are present.

The Elesa+Ganter 111051 oil level indicator is especially useful where operators need fast, direct confirmation of tank status. Rather than relying only on sensors or scheduled checks, the visible column allows a simple visual inspection. This supports preventive maintenance, reduces the risk of running machinery with insufficient oil and helps identify unexpected fluid loss.

Best-Fit Applications

This model is commonly used on hydraulic power units, lubrication reservoirs, industrial presses, machine tools, gearboxes and oil circulation systems. Its 508 mm size makes it a strong choice for taller tanks or equipment layouts that require extended visibility.
