Elesa+Ganter 113439-KN HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-STL-KN Electrical Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113439-KN electrical oil level indicator is designed for hydraulic systems where visual level checking and electrical monitoring need to work together in a compact, industrial-grade component. Built in the HCK.127 size, this indicator uses an M12 connection format and a 127 mm fixing distance, making it suitable for machinery panels, hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, and equipment where reliable fluid visibility is part of routine maintenance.

Technical Overview

This model belongs to the HCK stainless steel execution family. Its 127 configuration has an overall length of 164 mm, a visible level window of 56 mm, a mounting hole diameter of 12.5 mm, and a recommended maximum tightening torque of 12 Nm. The SST and STL references indicate a stainless-oriented execution suitable for demanding industrial environments, while FKM sealing supports use where higher chemical or thermal resistance is preferred compared with standard elastomers.

Where It Is Used

The Elesa+Ganter 113439-KN electrical oil level indicator is commonly relevant for hydraulic power packs, machine tools, industrial presses, mobile machinery auxiliaries, and lubrication reservoirs. It helps maintenance teams confirm fluid level visually while also supporting electrical level supervision. This dual function is especially useful in production environments where low oil level can lead to overheating, pump cavitation, unplanned downtime, or premature component wear.

Why the Design Matters

A column-style oil level indicator gives operators a direct view of the reservoir level without opening the tank. The M12 format supports cleaner integration into machine wiring, while the compact 127 mm size is practical for smaller reservoirs or crowded machine layouts. The KN execution is useful when a secure mounting configuration is required for robust installation.

FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113439-KN used for?

It is used to monitor oil level in hydraulic and lubrication systems, combining visual level reading with electrical monitoring capability.

Is this a sales-only product description?

No. This model is best understood as a technical monitoring component for safer fluid management in industrial machinery.

What does the 127 size mean?

It refers to the indicator size and fixing distance, making it suitable for applications requiring a compact column level indicator.

Why is FKM important?

FKM sealing is generally selected for stronger resistance to oils, temperature, and demanding operating conditions compared with standard sealing materials.
