Elesa+Ganter 113177 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NC Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113177 electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic and fluid reservoir systems where level visibility and temperature-related electrical monitoring are both required. As part of the HCK.127 range, it offers a compact mounting format and practical functionality for industrial machinery.

Key Technical Features

This model uses the 127 mm HCK mounting format with M12 fixing. It is intended for reservoir wall installation where the operator needs a direct view of the fluid column. The GL-P execution supports use in suitable oil, water, or glycol-based fluid environments, while FKM seals contribute to dependable performance under compatible operating conditions.

The “80-NC” part of the code is important. It identifies an 80°C temperature monitoring configuration with normally closed contact logic. In industrial systems, this can support early detection of overheating conditions, especially where hydraulic oil temperature directly affects viscosity, lubrication quality, and component life.

Typical Applications

The Elesa+Ganter 113177 electrical level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, machine tools, industrial presses, mobile machinery reservoirs, lubrication equipment, and automated production systems. It is useful in applications where thermal control and fluid-level awareness are part of the same maintenance strategy.

Why Temperature Monitoring Matters

Hydraulic systems rely on fluid condition. Excessive temperature can accelerate oil degradation, reduce lubrication quality, damage seals, and affect pump efficiency. A level indicator with an 80°C normally closed temperature function can help machine builders and maintenance teams introduce a clear warning point into the system.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113177 used for?

It is used to show fluid level visually and provide temperature-related electrical monitoring in hydraulic or compatible reservoir systems.

What does 80-NC mean?

It refers to an 80°C temperature threshold with normally closed contact logic, depending on the system wiring and control configuration.

Can this indicator improve maintenance planning?

Yes. It helps teams monitor both level and temperature conditions, which can support earlier intervention before faults become serious.

Where should it be installed?

It should be mounted on the reservoir wall in a position that allows accurate level reading, correct sealing, and safe electrical connection access.
