Oil Level and Temperature Awareness with Elesa+Ganter 113623 HCK.127-SST316 Indicator
Product Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 113623 oil level indicator with temperature probe, listed as HCK.127-SST316-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NO-STL, combines fluid level visibility with electrical monitoring functions. It is designed around the HCK.127 format, giving it a 127 mm fixing hole centre distance and M12 mounting threads. This makes the unit suitable for hydraulic reservoirs where compact installation and clear monitoring are both important.
Construction and Materials
The SST316 version uses AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, NBR O-rings, a polycarbonate transparent tube and removable polycarbonate front protection. The PC tube is intended for oil service, while the front shield helps protect the level window in daily industrial use. These features make the indicator practical for hydraulic power packs, lubrication units and production machinery.
NO Sensor and STL Temperature Monitoring
The “E-NO” part of the code identifies a normally open minimum level contact. When the minimum oil level is reached, the contact closes and can trigger a signal in a machine control system. The “STL” part adds temperature monitoring capability, allowing the system to consider not only whether enough oil is present, but also whether the oil temperature is moving into an undesirable range.
Why This Matters in Industrial Systems
Oil condition is not only about quantity. Temperature influences viscosity, lubrication behaviour and component life. A combined level and temperature indicator gives maintenance teams a more complete view of reservoir health without adding unnecessary complexity.

Elesa+Ganter 113623 FAQ
What is Elesa+Ganter 113623 used for?
It is used to monitor oil level visually and support electrical low-level and temperature-related monitoring.
What does STL mean in this model?
STL refers to the temperature monitoring execution used in the HCK-ST/HCK-STL family.
What does NO mean?
NO means normally open. The contact closes when the minimum level is reached.
Is SST316 suitable for demanding environments?
Yes. AISI 316 stainless steel is widely used where corrosion resistance is important.
Why combine oil level and temperature monitoring?
Because both low oil level and excessive temperature can affect hydraulic reliability, lubrication quality and machine uptime.
