Elesa+Ganter 113741 HCK.127 Electrical Oil Level Indicator

What Is Elesa+Ganter 113741?

The Elesa+Ganter 113741 electrical oil level indicator is a column-style level indicator with an integrated electrical level sensor. Its full configuration, HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NO, identifies a 127 mm HCK format, AISI 316 stainless steel fixing parts, M12 thread, FKM O-rings, polycarbonate tube, transparent front protection, technopolymer float, and normally open electrical contact.

This model is used where visual oil level control must be supported by an electrical signal. It is particularly useful in hydraulic units and industrial reservoirs where low-level detection can help prevent pump damage, overheating, or unplanned downtime.

Technical Design

The HCK.127 format provides a compact column indicator body. Reinforced technopolymer assembly ends, aluminium support, and a graduated contrast screen help provide reliable visibility during routine inspection.

The SST316 fixing configuration improves corrosion resistance. This is important in demanding environments, including humid industrial areas, outdoor machinery housings, or applications where standard steel parts may corrode faster.

Electrical Level Sensor

The E-NO configuration indicates a float-based electrical level sensor with normally open contact. In practical terms, the electrical contact closes when the defined level threshold is reached. This allows the machine or control panel to receive a level-related signal.

The technopolymer float is designed for continuous working temperatures up to 80°C. The sensor should not be mounted near strong magnetic fields, as these may affect operation.

Sealing, Tube and Protection

FKM O-rings support higher temperature resistance than many standard sealing materials. The PC transparent tube is designed for oil visibility. The P configuration adds removable polycarbonate front protection, helping shield the tube while still allowing cleaning access.
