Elesa+Ganter 113797 HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-STL Oil Level Indicator

Technical Overview

The Elesa+Ganter 113797 HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-STL oil level indicator is a column-style level monitoring component designed for hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial fluid reservoirs. Its 127 mm hole centre distance and M12 fixing format make it suitable for compact and medium-sized machine systems where reliable level visibility is required.

This model uses AISI 316 stainless steel fixing components, which is an important detail for environments exposed to humidity, washdown routines or corrosion risk. The FKM sealing rings support higher temperature resistance than standard NBR seals, while the GL configuration refers to a transparent borosilicate glass tube suitable for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions. The front protection helps keep the reading area safer during daily operation.

Electrical Function and Application

The E-NO configuration means the minimum level electrical contact is normally open and closes when the minimum fluid level is reached. This makes the device useful for warning circuits, machine monitoring panels and preventive maintenance routines. In practice, the visual column helps operators inspect the level quickly, while the electrical contact supports automated indication when the fluid drops below the intended threshold.

The STL version is commonly associated with an integrated electrical level signal arrangement. For systems where downtime is costly, combining visual confirmation with electrical feedback gives maintenance teams a stronger operating picture.

Elesa+Ganter 113797 FAQ

What is the product type of Elesa+Ganter 113797?

It is an oil level indicator with an electrical minimum level contact. The full technical keyword is Elesa+Ganter 113797 HCK.127-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-STL oil level indicator.

What does NO mean in this model?

NO means normally open. The contact closes when the minimum fluid level is reached, allowing the system to trigger a signal or alarm.

Why is AISI 316 stainless steel important?

AISI 316 stainless steel improves corrosion resistance, especially in demanding industrial areas where moisture, cleaning processes or chemically aggressive surroundings may be present.

Can this indicator be used with water/glycol solutions?

The GL borosilicate glass tube configuration is suitable for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions, provided the actual operating conditions match the product limits.
