Elesa+Ganter 113435-KN Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113435-KN oil level indicator is engineered for applications where a compact hydraulic level indicator must also communicate with an electrical monitoring system. Its configuration, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-80-NC-KN, combines a 127 mm oil level column, stainless-steel fixing components, FKM sealing, polycarbonate level tube, removable front protection and a normally closed sensor version with M12 connector style.

Technical Design

The HCK.127 format gives the indicator a 127 mm hole centre distance, a total reference length of 164 mm and M12 threaded installation. These dimensions make it practical for hydraulic tank walls, lubrication modules and machine panels where installation space must be predictable. The black technopolymer ends provide a rigid mounting structure, while the aluminium support and white contrast screen help keep the level reading clear.

The polycarbonate tube is intended for oil level visibility. The FKM O-ring supports higher temperature performance than many standard rubber seals, and the SST hardware package uses stainless-steel screws, nuts and washers for improved resistance in industrial operating environments.

Why the KN Version Matters

The KN suffix is especially relevant when modern M12 connection formats are preferred. In machine building, M12 connectors are widely used because they support neat wiring, faster replacement and cleaner integration with sensors, PLCs and monitoring circuits. Combined with NC contact logic, this version can help support low-level alarm strategies where a change in circuit status must be detected reliably.

The Elesa+Ganter 113435-KN oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, oil reservoirs, machine tools, packaging equipment and automation systems that require both visible oil level control and electrical minimum-level feedback.
