Elesa+Ganter 113357-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW-KN Electrical Level Indicator

Reliable Fluid Level Monitoring for Hydraulic Reservoirs

The Elesa+Ganter 113357-KN electrical level indicator is designed for applications where visual fluid level control and electrical monitoring need to work together in a compact hydraulic component. Its full reference, HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW-KN, identifies a 127 mm column level indicator with stainless steel fixing hardware, M12 mounting, NBR sealing, a GL transparent tube suitable for oil, water and glycol-based solutions, and an electrical minimum-level sensor.

This model is especially useful in hydraulic units, lubrication systems, cooling circuits and industrial reservoirs where operators need a clear view of the fluid level while also receiving an electrical signal when the minimum level is reached. The SW configuration means the electrical contact is a change-over type, allowing the contact to switch between terminals when the minimum level threshold is reached.

Technical Construction and Materials

The indicator uses glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer heads in black, combined with stainless steel fixing elements. The GL version uses a borosilicate glass transparent tube, making it suitable for oil, water and glycol-based solutions under verified operating conditions. The NBR O-ring supports standard hydraulic use and offers dependable sealing for many industrial fluids.

With its 127 mm hole centre distance, M12 thread and robust body geometry, the component is made for stable installation on tanks and machine reservoirs. The side-mounted electrical sensor bracket helps reduce intervention space, while the watertight connector supports protection against water sprays. The electrical level sensor is intended for AC/DC circuits and should not be installed close to magnetic fields, as magnetic interference can affect reliable switching.

Where This Indicator Adds Value

The Elesa+Ganter 113357-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW-KN electrical level indicator is a practical choice when maintenance teams want fast local inspection and automated low-level detection from the same component. In real machine environments, this helps reduce unnecessary downtime, supports preventive maintenance and gives operators a clearer understanding of reservoir status before fluid loss becomes a system risk.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113357-KN used for?

It is used to monitor fluid level in hydraulic reservoirs and similar industrial tanks. It provides both visual level reading and an electrical minimum-level signal.

Elesa+Ganter 113357-KN What does the SW contact mean?

SW indicates a change-over electrical contact. When the minimum fluid level is reached, the contact switches between terminals, giving more wiring flexibility than a simple normally open or normally closed contact.

Is this model suitable for glycol-based fluids?

Yes, the GL configuration is intended for oil, water and glycol-based solutions, provided the actual pressure, temperature and fluid conditions are verified before use.

Why is the 127 mm size important?

The 127 mm value refers to the nominal hole centre distance. It helps technicians confirm whether the indicator matches the mounting layout of the reservoir.

Can it be used near strong magnetic fields?

It should not be mounted close to magnetic fields because the electrical level sensor uses magnetic switching principles that may be affected by interference.
