Elesa+Ganter 113763 Electrical Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113763 electrical oil level indicator , model HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-SW, is designed for industrial systems where oil level visibility and electrical switching must work together. As part of the HCK.127 family, it provides a 127 mm column-style level reading and an integrated electrical output for machine monitoring.

Key Technical Features

This model includes AISI 316 stainless steel fixing parts, M12 mounting, FKM sealing rings and a transparent polycarbonate viewing body. AISI 316 is a strong choice for humid, demanding or corrosion-sensitive environments. The 127 mm fixing centre distance, 164 mm overall length, 56 mm visible level section and 12 Nm tightening torque make the product easy to match with compatible tank designs.

Understanding the SW Output

The “SW” configuration is used where a switching output is required rather than a simple single-state contact description. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 113763 HCK.127-SST316 oil level indicator relevant for applications that need a clear electrical level signal for control panels, PLC inputs or alarm circuits.

Why This Design Matters

Fluid level errors can create overheating, pump cavitation, lubrication failure or unexpected maintenance stops. A column oil level indicator allows operators to confirm the reservoir condition visually, while the electrical sensor provides an additional layer of monitoring. The PC construction supports clear readability, and FKM seals help maintain reliable sealing performance in oil-based service.
