Elesa+Ganter 113483-KN Electrical Oil Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 113483-KN HCK electrical oil level indicator is designed for monitoring liquid level in hydraulic systems, tanks and industrial machinery where clear visual inspection and electrical level signalling are both required. The full product code, HCK.127-SST-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-KN, indicates a 127 mm centre distance, stainless steel fixing hardware, M12 fastening, FKM sealing, glass level tube, front protection and a normally open electrical contact.

Technical Structure and Material Features

This HCK indicator uses stainless steel components suitable for demanding environments. The SST configuration refers to stainless steel screws, nuts and washers, supporting long-term use where corrosion resistance is important. The transparent glass tube allows operators to read the liquid level quickly, while the protective front cover helps reduce the risk of accidental impact during operation or maintenance.

The FKM sealing element is a key advantage for applications involving higher temperature requirements and compatibility with oil, water or glycol-based solutions. The M12 connection format makes the unit practical for modern machine layouts where compact, reliable sensor wiring is preferred.

Normally Open Contact Function

The E-NO version includes a normally open electrical level contact. In practical terms, the circuit remains open during normal conditions and changes state when the float reaches the defined switching point. This makes the product suitable for low-level alarms, preventive maintenance signals and automated monitoring systems.

Typical Application Areas

The Elesa+Ganter 113483-KN HCK electrical oil level indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power units, lubrication tanks, industrial presses, machine tools and process equipment. Its visual and electrical monitoring capability helps maintenance teams identify abnormal level changes before they lead to pump damage, overheating or system downtime.

Elesa+Ganter 113483-KN FAQ

What does NO mean in this product code?

NO means normally open. The contact is open under normal conditions and switches when the monitored liquid level reaches the activation point.

What is the benefit of the FKM seal?

FKM offers strong resistance to heat and many industrial fluids, making it useful where standard sealing materials may not be sufficient.

Is this product only for oil?

It is mainly used for oil level monitoring, but HCK-GL type indicators are also suitable for water and glycol-based solutions when operating conditions are compatible.

Why is the M12 connection useful?

M12 connectors are compact, widely used in industrial automation and suitable for secure electrical connection in machine environments.
