Elesa+Ganter 113173 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-STL Electrical Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113173 electrical oil level indicator is designed for industrial hydraulic systems where visual level control and electrical monitoring need to work together. Built around the HCK.127 format, this component supports clear fluid-level reading while helping maintenance teams monitor reservoir conditions more reliably.
Technical Overview
This model belongs to the HCK oil level indicator family, commonly used on hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, power units, and machinery reservoirs. The 127 mm fixing-hole distance makes it suitable for compact installations where reliable level visibility is required. Its M12 fixing arrangement, 12.5 mm mounting hole requirement, and controlled tightening torque help create a stable installation when mounted correctly.
The product code indicates several important engineering details. The FKM sealing material is valued in demanding fluid environments, while the PC-P execution points to a transparent viewing area suitable for visual inspection. The EHT-NC-STL configuration identifies an electrical version with level and temperature-related monitoring features, including normally closed logic for system feedback. In practical terms, this helps operators detect low fluid level or temperature threshold conditions before they become operational risks.
Where It Is Used
The Elesa+Ganter 113173 electrical oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power packs, machine tools, industrial presses, automation systems, mobile equipment reservoirs, and lubrication units. It is especially useful where the reservoir is not checked constantly by an operator, because the electrical function can support preventive maintenance routines.
Installation and Maintenance Notes
Correct installation is essential. The indicator should be mounted on a prepared surface with aligned holes, compatible seals, and proper tightening. Over-tightening can damage the assembly, while under-tightening may reduce sealing performance. The viewing column should remain clean so the fluid level can be read quickly during routine inspections.

Elesa+Ganter 113173 Electrical Oil Level Indicator FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 113173 used for?
It is used to monitor the oil level in hydraulic reservoirs while also supporting electrical status indication for safer machine operation.
Is this model only for hydraulic oil?
It is mainly associated with hydraulic oil applications. Suitability for other fluids should always be checked against the actual operating temperature, pressure, and chemical environment.
Why is the normally closed contact useful?
A normally closed contact is often preferred in monitoring systems because a change in state can help indicate a fault condition, depending on the control logic used.
What should be checked during maintenance?
Technicians should inspect seal condition, mounting tightness, fluid clarity, electrical connection integrity, and whether the viewing area remains readable.
