Elesa+Ganter 113131 Oil Level Indicator with FKM Seal and Polycarbonate Tube
Elesa+Ganter 113131 oil level indicator, known as HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P, is a column level indicator designed for clear visual monitoring of oil levels in hydraulic reservoirs and industrial fluid systems.
What This Product Does
This model is a mechanical oil level indicator rather than an electrical sensor version. It gives operators a direct visual reference for tank fluid level, helping daily inspection, preventive maintenance and safe machine operation. The 127 mm hole-centre distance makes it a compact option for smaller hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and machine reservoirs.
Construction and Materials
The HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P uses glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer assembly ends, a natural aluminium support and a white graduated contrast screen. The screen improves readability and can be removed before installation if a maintenance team wants to add custom level marks or operating notes.
The PC designation refers to a transparent polycarbonate tube, intended for use with oil. The P designation indicates removable polycarbonate front protection, which helps protect the indicator and supports easier cleaning. The ZN code identifies zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers.
Why FKM Matters
The FKM O-ring is one of the most important details in this model. FKM synthetic rubber, commonly known by the Viton-type material family, supports higher continuous working temperatures than NBR versions. In this product family, FKM sealing is associated with continuous working temperatures up to 130°C, making it suitable for demanding oil applications where heat resistance is important.
Application Areas
This oil level indicator is commonly relevant for hydraulic power packs, presses, machine tools, lubrication reservoirs, industrial automation equipment and compact mechanical systems. It is especially useful where visual monitoring is preferred over electrical feedback or where a simple, robust inspection point is enough for the maintenance strategy.

Elesa+Ganter 113131 Oil Level Indicator Frequently Asked Questions
What is Elesa+Ganter 113131 oil level indicator used for?
It is used to visually monitor oil level in hydraulic tanks, lubrication reservoirs and industrial machinery.
Does this model include an electrical sensor?
No. HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P is a visual oil level indicator without the E electrical sensor designation.
What does FKM mean in this code?
FKM refers to the sealing O-ring material. It is selected for higher temperature resistance compared with standard NBR sealing in this product family.
What does PC mean?
PC refers to the transparent polycarbonate level tube, intended for oil applications.
Why choose this model instead of an electrical level indicator?
It is suitable when the application only needs visual inspection, when wiring is not required, or when a simple monitoring point is preferred for routine maintenance.
