Elesa+Ganter 11196-KN HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NC-M12-KN Oil Electrical Level Indicator
Technical Product Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 11196-KN HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NC-M12-KN oil electrical level indicator is intended for industrial oil monitoring where visibility, electrical signalling, and compact installation are all important. It is part of the HCV.127-E-ST-AX range, which is known for combining visual oil level indication with minimum level and maximum temperature electrical feedback.
This specific version uses a normally closed contact configuration. When the oil level falls to the minimum point or the oil temperature reaches the preset 80°C threshold, the contact opens. That behaviour can be useful in control circuits where a change from closed to open contact must trigger attention, shutdown logic, or maintenance review.
Construction and Practical Value
The transparent technopolymer indicator body supports direct oil level visibility. This is important because maintenance professionals often need to confirm the condition of a reservoir at a glance. The lens effect improves readability, and the welded design supports sealing performance in oil-based systems.
The M12 connector format helps simplify installation in industrial environments. Compared with loose wiring, connector-based integration can make replacement, inspection, and cable management more structured. The axial connector position also supports applications where wiring is routed along the same axis as the indicator body.
Where It Fits Best
The Elesa+Ganter 11196-KN HCV.127-E-ST-AX-NC-M12-KN oil electrical level indicator is suitable for hydraulic units, machine lubrication reservoirs, industrial equipment, and oil tanks that require both local visual control and electrical signal output. It is especially relevant where oil level and thermal condition are connected to machine safety, performance, and service planning.
Low oil level can create operational risk, including pump stress, irregular pressure, and heat build-up. By combining a visible level column with electrical feedback, this indicator helps close the gap between manual inspection and automated monitoring.

Elesa+Ganter 11196-KN FAQ
What does this product monitor?
It monitors the oil level visually and provides electrical signalling for minimum level and maximum temperature conditions.
What does the NC contact do?
The normally closed contact opens when the minimum level or preset temperature threshold is reached.
Why choose a model with an M12 connector?
An M12 connector supports cleaner industrial wiring, easier service access, and more reliable integration with control systems.
Is this suitable for continuous industrial use?
It is designed for industrial oil monitoring applications, including hydraulic and lubrication systems where regular condition awareness is needed.
How does it help maintenance teams?
It allows technicians to see the oil level directly and gives the machine control system a signal when a critical condition is reached.
