Elesa+Ganter 11116 HCV.127-E-ST-NC-80-M12 Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11116 HCV.127-E-ST-NC-80-M12 oil level indicator is a technical monitoring component for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units and industrial oil tanks. It combines visual level control with an electrical signal for minimum oil level and an 80°C temperature monitoring function.
Key Technical Details
This HCV.127 model has a 127 mm fixing distance, M12 electrical connector and normally closed contact. The NC contact opens when the minimum level or defined sensor condition is reached. This configuration is often used in circuits where loss of continuity must be treated as an alarm condition.
Material and Build Quality
The body is made from transparent polyamide-based technopolymer, allowing the oil level to be checked quickly from outside the tank. The material is selected for resistance to shocks, industrial oils, additives and hydrocarbons. NBR sealing rings support reliable installation, while the column design gives a clear reading area.
Temperature and Level Monitoring
The 80°C sensor adds another layer of machine protection. In hydraulic systems, high oil temperature can reduce lubricant performance, damage seals and shorten component life. Monitoring both level and temperature helps maintenance teams respond before a minor issue becomes a costly breakdown.
Recommended Applications
The Elesa+Ganter 11116 HCV.127-E-ST-NC-80-M12 oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, presses, machine tools, gearboxes, lubrication reservoirs and automated production machinery.
