Elesa+Ganter 113317-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113317-KN electrical level indicator, supplied under the code HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NO-80-NO-KN, is an HCK.127 series column level indicator for industrial oil and hydraulic fluid monitoring. It is designed for applications that require visible level control, electrical signalling, and temperature-related monitoring in a compact assembly.

Technical Specification Highlights

This model uses a 127 mm fixing-hole centre distance, M12 connection, NBR sealing, stainless-steel fastening hardware, and a transparent polycarbonate tube. The normally open contact configuration supports electrical monitoring when the float reaches its set point. The 80°C function is relevant for systems where temperature supervision is part of machine safety, maintenance, or process reliability.

Designed for Hydraulic Reliability

Hydraulic systems depend on stable oil level and controlled operating temperature. If the level drops too low, pumps and moving components may be exposed to air intake, overheating, or insufficient lubrication. With the Elesa+Ganter 113317-KN electrical level indicator, operators can visually inspect the fluid column and use the electrical output as part of a broader monitoring strategy.

Practical Benefits in Machinery

The M12 connector supports straightforward connection to industrial control systems. The stainless-steel hardware improves mechanical robustness, while the transparent tube enables easy reading during maintenance checks. This makes the product suitable for hydraulic units, industrial machines, lubrication tanks, presses, production systems, and equipment where compact monitoring is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Elesa+Ganter 113317-KN monitor?

It monitors the liquid level in hydraulic or lubrication reservoirs and includes a temperature-related 80°C function for additional system awareness.

Is this product only for visual level checking?

No. It provides both visual indication and electrical signalling, which makes it suitable for machine monitoring and control systems.

What does the M12 connector offer?

The M12 connector offers a standardized industrial connection, making wiring easier and reducing installation complexity in automated machinery.

Why choose a normally open contact?

A normally open contact is useful when the control system is designed to receive a signal only after the float reaches the selected switching position.
