Elesa+Ganter 113161 Electrical Level Indicator with Switch Output

Elesa+Ganter 113161 electrical level indicator is a hydraulic reservoir monitoring component listed with the stock code HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-SW. It combines visual oil level indication with an electrical switch function, making it suitable for industrial systems that require both operator visibility and machine-level feedback.

Product Design and Function

The HCK.127 structure provides a column-style level display, allowing the operator to observe the oil level directly. The integrated electrical function helps communicate level status to automation systems. The SW configuration is generally associated with a switch-over type output, giving control systems more flexible signal handling compared with simple single-state outputs.

The M12 connection supports standardized industrial wiring. This is useful in hydraulic power units, automated production lines, packaging machinery, presses, and equipment where fast replacement and structured cabling are preferred.

Material and Sealing Details

This configuration includes FKM sealing, which is selected for improved resistance in demanding oil and temperature conditions. The transparent level body supports practical visual inspection, while the HCK.127 format is widely used in hydraulic oil tank monitoring.

Why It Is Important in Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic systems depend on stable oil volume for cooling, lubrication, and pressure transmission. When oil level drops below the recommended range, the system may suffer from overheating, pump noise, pressure instability, or premature component wear. The Elesa+Ganter 113161 helps reduce these risks by supporting early detection through both visual and electrical monitoring.
