Elesa+Ganter 11112-KN HCV.127-ST-NO-M12-KN Column Level Indicator
Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 11112-KN column level indicator, model HCV.127-ST-NO-M12-KN, is designed for hydraulic reservoirs where clear visual monitoring and electrical signalling are both required. Its 127 mm mounting distance and 153 mm overall length make it suitable for compact hydraulic units, lubrication systems, industrial machinery and oil tanks that need reliable level supervision.
This model belongs to the HCV.127-ST series and uses a transparent technopolymer body for direct oil level visibility. The lens-effect design helps operators read the fluid level from different viewing angles, while the integrated electrical function supports automated monitoring when the minimum level threshold is reached.
NO Contact and KN Connector Design
The “NO” configuration means the normally open contact closes when the minimum fluid level condition is detected. This makes the Elesa+Ganter HCV.127-ST-NO-M12-KN useful for systems where a signal must be triggered only when attention is required. The KN version includes an M12x1 connector concept, helping create a cleaner wiring layout compared with conventional cable-gland arrangements.
Material and Application Benefits
The body is based on transparent PA-T technopolymer, selected for resistance to oils, additives, hydrocarbons and mechanical impacts. Zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers support stable mounting, while NBR sealing elements help maintain reservoir integrity. For hydraulic power packs and machine reservoirs, this structure offers a practical balance between visibility, durability and electrical feedback.

Elesa+Ganter 11112-KN FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 11112-KN used for?
It is used to monitor oil or hydraulic fluid level visually and electrically in reservoirs, hydraulic units and industrial machinery.
What does NO mean on HCV.127-ST-NO-M12-KN?
NO means normally open. The electrical contact closes when the minimum level condition is reached, allowing the system to generate a warning or control signal.
Why is the M12-KN version important?
The KN version uses an M12x1 connector arrangement, which can simplify installation and make maintenance cleaner in wired industrial environments.
Does this model include temperature monitoring?
Yes. The ST configuration is associated with a temperature sensor function, making the indicator useful where both level and temperature conditions must be observed.
Where is this column level indicator commonly installed?
It is commonly mounted on oil tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, machine tools, power units and lubrication systems where fluid visibility and electrical signalling are required.
