Elesa+Ganter 113185 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113185 HCK.127-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC electrical level indicator is a compact fluid level monitoring component for hydraulic systems, lubrication reservoirs and industrial machine tanks. It provides a direct visual level reading and includes an NC minimum-level electrical contact for system monitoring.

Key Technical Characteristics

This HCK.127 model has a 127 mm hole centre distance, M12 thread size and zinc-plated steel fixing hardware. It uses FKM sealing rings and a GL borosilicate glass tube. The glass tube version is suitable for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions up to 50%, while the FKM seal supports applications where higher temperature resistance is required.

The NC designation means “normally closed”. The electrical contact opens when the fluid reaches the minimum level. This can be valuable for fail-safe style monitoring, because a broken circuit may be easier to detect in certain machine control architectures. It is often selected when the machine builder wants the control circuit to react to loss of continuity.

Elesa+Ganter 113185 Industrial Use Cases

This indicator is relevant for hydraulic presses, compact hydraulic power units, machine tools, automated production equipment, lubrication systems and reservoir assemblies. Operators can read the column visually, while the electrical contact helps create a clear low-level signal for maintenance planning or equipment protection.

Why Choose the NC Version?

The NC version is often preferred where a closed circuit during normal fluid level operation is part of the safety or monitoring logic. When the minimum level is reached, the contact opens and the control system can respond. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 113185 HCK.127 electrical level indicator suitable for installations where low fluid level must be detected quickly and consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main function of Elesa+Ganter 113185?

It monitors fluid level visually and electrically, helping operators detect minimum level conditions in hydraulic or lubrication systems.

What does NC mean?

NC means normally closed. The contact opens when the minimum level is reached.

Is this product only for oil?

No. The GL version is suitable for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions up to 50%, depending on the real operating conditions.

Why does the product use borosilicate glass?

Borosilicate glass provides a clear, durable transparent tube for applications involving oil and compatible water-glycol fluids.

Can it help reduce machine downtime?

Yes. By giving both a visual level reading and an electrical signal, it helps teams detect low fluid conditions before they cause operational problems.
