Elesa+Ganter 113011-KN Electrical Level Indicator

Primary keyword: Elesa+Ganter 113011-KN electrical level indicator

Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113011-KN electrical level indicator, identified as HCK.127-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NC-KN, is a column-style oil level indicator with an integrated minimum level electrical sensor. It is designed for industrial reservoirs where maintenance teams need both direct visual level reading and a reliable electrical signal for low-level detection.

Technical Description

This HCK.127 model uses a 127 mm fixing hole centre distance, M12 mounting and a robust construction based on glass-fibre reinforced polyamide technopolymer assembly ends. The natural aluminium support adds rigidity, while the white lacquered aluminium contrast screen improves readability. The transparent polycarbonate level tube is intended for oil service, and the NBR O-ring configuration supports continuous working temperatures up to 100°C.

The NC contact configuration makes the Elesa+Ganter 113011-KN electrical level indicator especially relevant for systems where a normally closed monitoring loop is preferred. When the fluid reaches the minimum threshold, the contact opens. This can be useful in alarm circuits, PLC inputs and preventive maintenance systems that are designed around interruption-based signalling.

Why This Configuration Matters

In hydraulic installations, delayed low-level detection can lead to pump cavitation, heat build-up, poor lubrication and accelerated component wear. A visual-only indicator depends on manual inspection. By adding an electrical NC signal, this model supports more proactive machine monitoring without removing the simplicity of a direct column display.

Installation and Use

Correct installation is important. The indicator should be fitted securely with the recommended tightening torque and kept away from strong magnetic fields. If the tank is made of ferromagnetic material, spacers may be needed to avoid interference with the magnetic float system. The removable front protection can also help during cleaning or periodic inspection.
