Elesa+Ganter 111161 HCY.127-E-ST-NO-M12 Oil Electrical Level Indicator
Technical Overview
The ELESA+GANTER 111161 HCY.127-E-ST-NO-M12 oil electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems where visual oil monitoring and electrical signalling must work together. This model belongs to the HCY-E-ST series and combines a transparent technopolymer body, MIN level electrical sensor, and temperature electrical probe in a compact column-style layout.
With a 127 mm mounting centre distance and M12 connection, the unit is suitable for applications where operators need a clear oil level reading while also receiving an electrical warning when the minimum level is reached. The NO contact version is normally open and closes when the minimum level threshold is reached.
Key Technical Features
The body is made from transparent polyamide-based technopolymer, offering good visibility and practical resistance for industrial hydraulic environments. The indicator includes nickel-plated brass screws, NBR synthetic rubber sealing elements, a technopolymer float, and a watertight sensor block. Its white lacquered aluminium contrast screen improves level readability and can support markings or level references before assembly.
The maximum continuous working temperature is 80°C with oil. In laboratory testing with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C, the HCY.127 weld resistance reached up to 9 bar for a limited period. This makes the indicator a relevant choice for controlled hydraulic oil monitoring where pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility are verified against the real operating conditions.
Where It Is Commonly Used
This model is commonly selected for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, industrial machinery, power packs, and maintenance-sensitive oil systems. It supports preventive maintenance by helping teams identify low oil level conditions before they create operational downtime.

Elesa+Ganter 111161 HCY.127-E-ST-NO-M12 Level Indicator FAQ
What is the main function of Elesa+Ganter 111161 HCY.127-E-ST-NO-M12?
It provides visual oil level indication and electrical signalling when the minimum oil level is reached.
What does NO mean in this product code?
NO means normally open. The contact closes when the minimum level threshold is reached.
Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?
Yes, it is designed for hydraulic oil level monitoring, especially in reservoirs and industrial hydraulic systems.
What is the working temperature limit?
The maximum continuous working temperature is 80°C when used with oil.
Why is the 127 mm size important?
The 127 mm value refers to the mounting centre distance, which must match the tank or panel design for correct installation.
