Elesa+Ganter 113303 HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC Column Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 113303 HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC column level indicator is designed for clear and reliable fluid level monitoring in hydraulic systems, lubrication units, industrial tanks, and machinery where oil visibility matters. Its 127 mm hole centre distance and M12 fastening configuration make it a compact yet practical solution for equipment panels requiring stable installation and easy visual checking.
Technical Overview
This model uses stainless steel fastening components, identified by the SST configuration. The assembly includes AISI stainless steel hardware, supporting better resistance in demanding industrial environments. The NBR sealing element is suitable for many oil-based applications, while the transparent polycarbonate tube helps operators inspect the fluid level directly. The front polycarbonate protection, marked with “P”, adds an extra layer of mechanical protection and can be removed for cleaning when needed.
Normally Closed Level Monitoring
The “NC” configuration means the electrical contact is normally closed. This is useful in applications where the system needs to detect a low-level condition through a change in circuit status. In preventive maintenance strategies, a normally closed contact can help operators identify level loss before pump cavitation, overheating, air intake, or lubrication failure affects the machine.
Industrial Use Cases
The Elesa+Ganter 113303 HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC oil level indicator is commonly relevant for hydraulic power packs, oil reservoirs, machine tools, production lines, and industrial automation systems. Its protected transparent tube supports quick inspection from the front while the contrast screen improves readability in workshop conditions.
Material and Performance Benefits
The glass-fibre reinforced polyamide end pieces provide a robust structure, while the aluminium support and graduated contrast screen help make the level easier to read. For systems using mineral oil, the HCK series is designed to support continuous operation up to 100°C, depending on the exact application conditions.

Elesa+Ganter 113303 FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 113303 HCK.127 used for?
It is used to monitor oil level in hydraulic reservoirs and industrial machinery. The visual tube allows operators to check fluid level quickly without opening the tank.
What does NC mean in this product code?
NC means normally closed electrical contact. The circuit state changes when the monitored level reaches the switching point, making it useful for low-level detection.
Why is the front protection important?
The polycarbonate front protection helps shield the transparent tube from dirt, impact, and daily handling. It also supports longer service life in industrial environments.
Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil?
Yes, the HCK series is intended for oil level monitoring. Final compatibility should always be checked against the fluid, temperature, pressure, and operating conditions of the system.
