Elesa+Ganter 113311-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113311-KN electrical level indicator, identified as HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NC-KN, is designed for visual and electrical monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units, machine reservoirs, and industrial oil circuits. As part of the HCK.127 family, it combines a clear column-style viewing body with an integrated electrical contact, making it useful where operators need both local visibility and signal feedback.

Technical Overview

This model features a 127 mm fixing-hole centre distance, M12 mounting, stainless-steel fastening hardware, NBR sealing, and a transparent polycarbonate tube. Its normally closed contact configuration makes it suitable for applications where a signal change is required when the float reaches the defined intervention point. The 4-pole M12x1 male connector supports practical integration into industrial wiring layouts.

Where This Indicator Is Used

The Elesa+Ganter 113311-KN electrical level indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power packs, gear lubrication systems, compact reservoirs, mobile machinery, and process equipment where fluid visibility is essential. The column design gives maintenance teams a quick way to inspect oil level, while the electrical contact can support alarms, PLC inputs, or machine protection logic.

Material and Design Benefits

The stainless-steel screw, nut, and washer configuration helps improve durability in demanding machine environments. The NBR sealing element supports reliable use with mineral oils, while the polycarbonate transparent section allows easy reading from the outside of the tank. This is especially useful in preventive maintenance programs where operators need quick inspection without opening the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113311-KN used for?

It is used to monitor liquid level in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems, and machine tanks. It provides both visual level reading and an electrical signal through its normally closed contact.

What does NC mean on this model?

NC means normally closed. In practical terms, the electrical contact is closed in its normal state and changes condition when the float reaches the switching threshold.

Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil?

Yes, the HCK series is intended for oil-level monitoring, especially in hydraulic and lubrication applications. Fluid compatibility should always be checked against the working temperature, pressure, and fluid type.

Why is the M12 connector important?

The M12 connector is widely used in industrial automation. It simplifies wiring, replacement, and connection to control systems, sensors, and machine panels.
