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

The Elesa+Ganter 113461-KN electrical level indicator is a compact industrial oil level monitoring component developed for reservoirs that require both visual level reading and electrical minimum-level control. It belongs to the HCK.127 family, meaning it uses a 127 mm hole centre distance and an M12 mounting configuration. This makes it a practical choice for hydraulic units, lubrication equipment and machine reservoirs with limited panel space.

Design and Technical Features

The product combines a transparent polycarbonate level tube with removable PC front protection, black glass-fibre reinforced polyamide technopolymer ends, a natural aluminium support and a white lacquered aluminium graduated contrast screen. The contrast screen improves readability, while the side-view visibility helps maintenance teams check oil level quickly during routine inspections.

The SST specification indicates stainless-steel fixing hardware: AISI 303 screws and AISI 304 nuts and washers. This construction supports long-term mechanical stability in industrial environments. The FKM O-rings are selected for higher temperature resistance and are appropriate for systems where oil temperature and sealing reliability are critical considerations.

NC Electrical Minimum Level Function

This version uses NC contact logic for minimum-level detection. When the float reaches the minimum threshold, the electrical contact opens. This behaviour is useful for safety circuits, oil shortage warnings, PLC inputs and preventive maintenance alarms. In many hydraulic systems, an early level signal can help prevent pump cavitation, overheating and unnecessary component wear.

The KN configuration is commonly associated with the electrical connector arrangement within this product family. During installation, wiring and connector orientation should always be checked against the machine layout and the manufacturer’s wiring instructions.

Application Areas

The Elesa+Ganter 113461-KN is suitable for oil reservoirs in machine tools, hydraulic presses, compact power units, lubrication skids, industrial automation equipment and maintenance-intensive production lines. It is especially useful where technicians need both a direct visual reference and a signal that can be integrated into control systems.
