Elesa+Ganter 113155 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-STL Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113155 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-STL electrical level indicator is designed for clear and structured monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, machine tanks and industrial oil systems. As a column level indicator, it allows operators and maintenance teams to visually check the oil level while also supporting electrical level signalling through its integrated sensor arrangement.

Technical Overview

This model belongs to the HCK.127 configuration, which indicates a 127 mm hole centre distance. It uses M12 fixing, zinc-plated steel hardware, FKM sealing rings and a transparent polycarbonate tube. The PC tube is intended for oil applications, while the removable polycarbonate front protection helps shield the viewing area during daily machine operation.

The “E-NC-STL” configuration points to an electrical level indicator with a normally closed contact and a temperature probe style arrangement. This makes the unit suitable for systems where the electrical circuit is expected to change state when the float reaches the defined minimum level threshold. The internal float includes a magnetic element that activates the electrical contact when the fluid level reaches the switching point.

Elesa+Ganter 113155 Where It Is Commonly Used

The Elesa+Ganter 113155 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-STL electrical level indicator is typically specified for hydraulic power packs, industrial presses, oil reservoirs, machine tools and automated production equipment. It is especially useful where visual level reading and electrical level control are both required in a compact mechanical component.

Material and Design Benefits

The FKM sealing system is valued for higher temperature resistance compared with standard NBR options. The glass-fibre reinforced technopolymer ends provide mechanical stability, while the aluminium support and white graduated contrast screen improve readability. The screen can also help operators identify level changes more quickly during routine inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113155 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-STL used for?

It is used to monitor oil level in hydraulic tanks and machine reservoirs. It combines visual level indication with an electrical normally closed contact for level signalling.

What does HCK.127 mean?

HCK refers to the column level indicator family, while 127 identifies the 127 mm hole centre distance used for mounting.

Is this product suitable for oil?

Yes. The PC tube configuration is intended for oil applications, particularly mineral oil systems used in hydraulic equipment.

What is the role of the FKM seal?

FKM sealing rings offer strong resistance in demanding oil environments and support higher continuous working temperatures than many standard rubber seals.

What does NC mean on this indicator?

NC means normally closed. The electrical contact is configured to operate as a normally closed circuit until the switching condition is reached.
