Elesa+Ganter 113171-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator with PT100

The Elesa+Ganter 113171-KN electrical column level indicator, supplied under the stock code HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NO-STL-KN, is an HCK.127 oil level monitoring component that combines visual fluid indication, normally open minimum-level signalling and PT100 temperature measurement. It is engineered for hydraulic systems where oil level and temperature data are both important for safe operation.

Technical Configuration

The model includes zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers, M12 mounting threads, FKM O-rings, a transparent polycarbonate level tube and removable PC protection. The HCK.127 size offers a practical balance between compact installation and clear level visibility. Its EHT float is designed for higher-temperature operation, while the FKM sealing supports demanding oil-based environments.

NO Level Signal and STL Probe

The NO-STL structure means the minimum-level electrical contact is normally open and closes when the minimum level is reached. The STL part of the code identifies a PT100 electrical temperature probe. This makes the product suitable for systems where temperature should be measured and interpreted by a controller, display or monitoring device rather than handled only as a fixed alarm point.

Operational Value

The Elesa+Ganter 113171-KN electrical column level indicator is commonly relevant for hydraulic power units, lubrication tanks, machine tools and oil circulation equipment. It helps maintenance teams combine quick visual inspection with electrical monitoring, which supports condition-based maintenance and reduces the chance of unnoticed low-oil or overheating conditions.

FAQ

What is the product type of Elesa+Ganter 113171-KN?

It is an electrical column level indicator with a normally open minimum-level contact and PT100 temperature probe.

Why is the STL version useful?

The STL version includes a PT100 probe, allowing temperature measurement instead of only a single temperature threshold signal.

What role does the polycarbonate tube play?

The transparent PC tube allows operators to visually check oil level from outside the tank.

Why should the full stock code be used?

The full code defines contact logic, seal material, tube material, temperature function and ordering variant, so it helps prevent specification errors.
