Elesa+Ganter 113159-KN Electrical Level Indicator for Reliable Oil Level Monitoring
Elesa+Ganter 113159-KN electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems where visual fluid control and electrical level signalling are required in one compact component. Listed with the stock code HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-KN, this indicator belongs to the HCK.127 family and is typically used on oil tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, and industrial machine systems.
Technical Overview
The HCK.127 design combines a column-style visual level indicator with an integrated electrical level monitoring function. Its transparent body supports easy oil level visibility from different viewing angles, while the M12 connector allows structured integration into control panels or machine automation systems. The FKM sealing configuration is suitable for demanding environments where chemical and temperature resistance are important.
This version is identified as an NC configuration, meaning it is associated with a normally closed electrical output logic. In practical applications, that makes the unit useful for monitoring minimum oil level conditions and sending a signal before the reservoir reaches a critical operating point.
Where It Is Used
This component is often selected for hydraulic power packs, CNC machinery, industrial presses, lubrication systems, and mobile equipment reservoirs. It helps maintenance teams observe fluid level directly and supports preventive maintenance by allowing the machine control system to react to level changes.
Why This Product Matters
Oil level monitoring is not only a maintenance task; it is part of machine reliability. A low oil level can cause pump cavitation, overheating, seal wear, and unplanned downtime. By using a visual and electrical indicator in one body, the Elesa+Ganter 113159-KN supports both manual inspection and automated machine protection.
