Elesa+Ganter 113797-KN HCK.127-A4-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-STL-KN Oil Level Indicator
Product Structure
The Elesa+Ganter 113797-KN HCK.127-A4-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NO-STL-KN oil level indicator is developed for visual and electrical monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic reservoirs and industrial machinery. The 127 mm centre distance supports standardized installation, while the M12 format provides a familiar connection approach for modern control environments.
The A4 designation refers to AISI 316 stainless steel fixing hardware. This is valuable where the machine operates in humid, outdoor, marine-adjacent or washdown-related areas. The FKM O-ring provides strong sealing performance under higher temperature demands, and the GL borosilicate glass tube allows clear level reading for oil, water and water/glycol-based solutions.
KN Connection and Normally Open Contact
The KN version uses an M12x1 connector arrangement, which is widely preferred in industrial automation because it supports neat wiring, easier replacement and cleaner panel integration. The E-NO contact is normally open and closes when the minimum level point is reached. This behaviour is useful when the machine control system needs a clear low-level signal without relying only on manual inspection.
In real maintenance work, this type of component helps operators detect leakage, unexpected consumption or incorrect filling before the issue becomes a larger operational problem. More details about Elesa+Ganter components can help compare similar level monitoring options for hydraulic equipment.
Elesa+Ganter 113797-KN FAQ
What is the main difference of the KN version?
The KN version includes an M12x1 connector configuration, making it practical for structured industrial wiring and sensor-style machine connections.
What does A4 mean in this code?
A4 indicates AISI 316 stainless steel hardware. This material is selected where stronger corrosion resistance is needed.
Is the contact normally open?
Yes. The E-NO configuration means the electrical contact is normally open and closes when the minimum level is reached.
Where is Elesa+Ganter 113797-KN typically used?
It is commonly used on hydraulic tanks, lubrication systems, machine reservoirs and fluid units where both visual level reading and electrical minimum-level monitoring are required.
