Elesa+Ganter 113743 HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC Electrical Oil Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The brand name + stock code + product type keyword for this model is Elesa+Ganter 113743 electrical oil level indicator. This HCK.127 version is designed for visual oil level monitoring in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and compact reservoirs where both clear level reading and electrical signalling are required.

The code structure gives useful technical clues. “HCK.127” refers to the 127 mm centre distance format. “SST316” indicates stainless steel fixing parts with high corrosion resistance. “M12” identifies the electrical connection type, while “FKM” refers to the sealing material. “PC” points to the transparent polycarbonate level tube, and “NC” means the electrical contact is normally closed.

Where This Model Is Used

This indicator is suitable for equipment where operators need a fast, external view of fluid level without opening the reservoir. Typical applications include hydraulic power packs, machine tools, industrial lubrication systems, mobile machinery and process equipment. The normally closed contact is especially useful where a low-level condition should interrupt or warn the control system.

Material and Functional Benefits

The stainless steel fixing configuration helps the unit perform in humid, demanding or washdown-prone environments. FKM sealing is selected for applications where oil compatibility and temperature resistance are important. The polycarbonate tube gives practical visibility, while the protected column style helps reduce the risk of reading errors during routine inspection.

Elesa+Ganter 113743  FAQ

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113743 used for?

It is used to monitor oil level in hydraulic and lubrication reservoirs while also providing an electrical signal through a normally closed contact.

What does NC mean in this product code?

NC means normally closed. In practical terms, the contact state is selected for systems where a change in level can be detected by the machine control circuit.

Why is FKM important?

FKM is a high-performance sealing material often chosen for oil, heat and chemical resistance. It supports reliable sealing in industrial fluid systems.

Is the polycarbonate tube suitable for visual inspection?

Yes. The PC tube is intended to give a clear view of the fluid column, making daily maintenance checks faster and more consistent.
