Elesa+Ganter 11342-R HCX.76-AR-M10 Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 11342-R HCX.76-AR-M10 level indicator is a column type fluid level indicator developed for applications where the monitored liquid or cleaning environment may involve alcohol-containing substances. It is part of the HCX-AR range, which is engineered for improved resistance in conditions where a standard level indicator may not be suitable.
Technical Configuration
The HCX.76-AR-M10 has a 76 mm hole centre distance and an M10 fastening configuration. It is built with a transparent PA-T/AR technopolymer body, zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers, and NBR synthetic rubber O-ring packing. The “AR” material designation is particularly important because it refers to suitability for applications involving fluids or detergents containing alcohol.
This product keeps the practical advantages of the HCX family: clear column visibility, compact dimensions, simple installation, and a design focused on everyday industrial inspection. The lens effect supports better readability of the fluid level, while ultrasound welding contributes to sealing integrity.
Resistance and Working Conditions
The HCX-AR material is highly resistant to shocks, solvents, oils with additives, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, petrol, naphtha, phosphoric esters, additives, and detergents containing alcohol. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 11342-R HCX.76-AR-M10 level indicator especially relevant for equipment exposed to more aggressive operating or cleaning conditions.
In laboratory testing with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C for a limited period, the HCX.76-AR family demonstrated weld resistance up to 13 bar. The maximum continuous working temperature is 90°C with oil. As with any industrial fluid component, suitability should be checked under actual pressure, temperature, and chemical exposure conditions.
Practical Use Cases
This model is useful for hydraulic systems, lubrication reservoirs, machine tools, processing equipment, and industrial tanks where the presence of alcohol-containing fluids or cleaning agents must be considered. It is also a strong option for maintenance teams that require a visual indicator with better chemical resistance than a standard model.

Elesa+Ganter 11342-R FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 11342-R HCX.76-AR-M10 designed for?
It is designed for visual fluid level monitoring, especially in applications where fluids or detergents containing alcohol may be present.
What does AR mean in the product code?
AR indicates a transparent PA-T/AR technopolymer material version intended for improved chemical resistance, including resistance to detergents containing alcohol.
Does this model have stainless steel screws?
No. This version uses zinc-plated steel screws, nuts, and washers. Stainless steel fastening variants are available in other product configurations.
What is the mounting thread size?
The mounting thread size is M10, and the hole centre distance is 76 mm.
Is the HCX.76-AR-M10 suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?
Yes, it can be used for many hydraulic oil tank applications, provided the fluid, pressure, temperature, and installation conditions are compatible with the product specifications.
Why choose an AR version instead of a standard HCX indicator?
An AR version is preferable when the application involves alcohol-containing fluids, cleaning agents, or chemical exposure that may not be appropriate for a standard HCX indicator.
