Elesa+Ganter 113179-KN HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO-KN Electrical Level Indicator

Product Description

The Elesa+Ganter 113179-KN electrical level indicator, identified as HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO-KN, combines visual level inspection with electrical monitoring capability. It belongs to the HCK.127 column level indicator family and is commonly used in hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs and fluid management systems where operators need both local visibility and signal-based control.

Elesa+Ganter 113179-KN Construction and Technical Details

The unit features a reinforced technopolymer body, transparent level column and a protected structure suitable for industrial machine environments. The 127 mm fixing centre distance supports standardised panel or tank mounting, while the M12 connection format provides secure installation. Its FKM packing ring is selected for applications where fluid compatibility and thermal resistance are important.

The GL execution is intended for mineral oil and water/glycol-based solutions. This makes the model useful in cooling-assisted hydraulic circuits, lubrication units and power packs where mixed fluids may be present. The protected P design helps reduce the risk of damage to the viewing section during maintenance or machine operation.

Electrical Monitoring Role

The 80-NO configuration indicates a normally open electrical contact associated with an 80°C setting. In practical terms, this allows the unit to support system supervision, warning logic or machine protection circuits when the defined condition is reached. It helps maintenance teams move from purely manual checks to more structured monitoring.

Where It Fits Best

This component is suitable for hydraulic machinery, compact power units, production equipment and oil circulation systems. For more details about compatible machine components, see Elesa+Ganter product information.

Elesa+Ganter 113179-KN HCK.127 Electrical Level Indicator FAQ

What makes the 113179-KN different from a standard level indicator?

It includes electrical level monitoring capability, supporting signal-based supervision in addition to visual inspection.

Can HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-80-NO-KN be used in hydraulic oil tanks?

Yes, it is suitable for hydraulic oil applications when installation and working conditions match the product specification.

Why choose an FKM version?

FKM is preferred when the application requires stronger sealing performance against temperature and selected industrial fluids.

Is the indicator easy to read?

Yes, the column design and contrast screen help operators read the fluid level quickly from the machine side.
