Elesa+Ganter 113461 HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113461 electrical level indicator is a technical solution designed for visual oil level monitoring and minimum level electrical signalling in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, machine tanks and industrial fluid systems. Its HCK.127 configuration refers to a 127 mm hole centre distance, while the M12 connection and stainless-steel fixing hardware make it suitable for demanding machine environments where mechanical reliability matters.

This model uses black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide technopolymer assembly ends, a natural aluminium support, a white lacquered aluminium contrast screen and a transparent polycarbonate level tube. The PC tube is intended for oil applications, offering clear visual reading of the fluid level from different viewing angles. The removable front protection helps reduce accidental impact risk and supports easier cleaning during maintenance.

Technical Construction and Materials

The SST code indicates AISI 303 stainless-steel screws combined with AISI 304 stainless-steel nuts and washers. This is important in installations where corrosion resistance and stable tightening are expected. The FKM sealing rings, commonly associated with VITON type synthetic rubber, are suitable for higher temperature requirements and support a maximum continuous working temperature of 130°C for the sealing element.

The NC version includes a minimum level electrical sensor with normally closed contact logic. In practical terms, the contact opens when the minimum level threshold is reached. This makes the product useful for machine protection circuits, alarm systems and preventive maintenance setups where operators need a reliable low-level signal before the reservoir runs below a safe operating point.

Where This Indicator Is Used

Typical applications include hydraulic power packs, industrial oil tanks, gear lubrication systems, mobile machinery reservoirs, cooling units using oil circuits and production equipment where visual inspection and electrical level control must work together. The 127 mm mounting distance makes this model a compact yet readable option for medium-sized tanks.

Elesa+Ganter 113461 FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 113461 used for?

It is used to visually monitor oil level and provide an electrical minimum-level signal in hydraulic and lubrication systems.

What does NC mean in this product code?

NC means normally closed. The electrical contact opens when the minimum fluid level is reached, making it suitable for alarm or machine-stop circuits.

Is the tube suitable for water or glycol?

This PC version is intended for oil. For water or water/glycol-based solutions, a GL borosilicate glass version is generally preferred.

Why is FKM important?

FKM provides better high-temperature sealing performance than standard NBR in many applications, especially where the system operates close to elevated oil temperatures.
