Elesa+Ganter 111211 HCL-300-M12 Column Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 111211 column oil level indicator, known as HCL-300-M12, is a U-protected oil level indicator for hydraulic systems. It is designed for clear visual monitoring of oil level in tanks, reservoirs and industrial machinery where durability and readability are important.
Technical Specification Overview
This HCL model has a 300 mm mounting pitch and M12 thread. The listed dimensions include an overall length of 326 mm, with supporting dimensions such as A 13.5 mm, B 28.5 mm, C 35 mm, l1 42 mm, l2 242 mm and r 13 mm. Its approximate weight is 227 g, making it a robust but manageable component for reservoir installations.
The HCL series is built with a transparent technopolymer tube and protective structure that helps shield the level indicator in demanding industrial environments. It is intended for visual level checking rather than electrical signalling, making it suitable for applications where operators or maintenance teams perform regular inspection rounds.
Why Choose a Column Oil Level Indicator?
A column level indicator gives a direct and intuitive view of the oil level. Unlike small sight glasses, the elongated format makes level changes easier to notice. The Elesa+Ganter 111211 HCL-300-M12 column oil level indicator is especially useful on larger hydraulic reservoirs where a longer visible range helps improve daily maintenance checks.
Application Areas
This product can be used on hydraulic power packs, industrial presses, machine tools, lubrication systems and equipment reservoirs. It supports preventive maintenance by helping operators identify low oil levels before they contribute to overheating, pump damage or operational downtime.
