Elesa+Ganter 114007 Column Oil Level Indicator with STL Probe

The Elesa+Ganter 114007 column oil level indicator, listed as HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL, is a column-type oil level indicator designed for industrial reservoirs where visual level control and temperature reading through an STL probe configuration are required. It is particularly relevant for hydraulic and lubrication systems that need dependable daily inspection points.

Technical Breakdown of HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL

The HCK.176 designation refers to the HCK column level indicator family with a 176 mm fixing hole centre distance. This dimension supports a practical viewing length for medium-size tanks. ZN indicates zinc-plated steel fixing components, while M12 defines the mounting connection size. The NBR sealing material is suitable for oil-based applications, and the PC code confirms the use of a transparent polycarbonate level tube.

The P version includes a front protective plate. This is useful when the indicator is installed on equipment exposed to handling, nearby tools or general workshop movement. The STL section refers to a temperature probe configuration, allowing temperature observation depending on the system arrangement. This makes the model useful where both oil level and oil temperature awareness matter during operation.

Elesa+Ganter 114007 Operational Advantages

The Elesa+Ganter 114007 column oil level indicator supports faster inspection because operators can read the oil level directly from outside the reservoir. This reduces unnecessary tank opening and helps lower the risk of contamination. The protective plate supports durability in industrial surroundings, while the STL feature adds value for users who monitor oil condition as part of preventive maintenance.

Common Application Environments

This model can be considered for hydraulic power packs, lubrication reservoirs, gear units, industrial presses, machine tools and production equipment. It is especially useful where machine reliability depends on both correct oil level and awareness of thermal behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Elesa+Ganter 114007?

It is a column oil level indicator with a 176 mm fixing centre distance, polycarbonate tube, NBR sealing, protective plate and STL temperature probe configuration.

What does STL mean in this product code?

STL indicates a temperature probe-related configuration. It is used when temperature observation is part of the application requirement.

Why does this model have a protective plate?

The P version includes a front protective plate to help shield the visible level tube in industrial environments where the indicator may be exposed to minor mechanical contact.

Is the PC tube suitable for visual oil level monitoring?

Yes. The transparent polycarbonate tube is intended to provide clear visibility of the oil level from outside the tank.

What should be reviewed before selecting 114007?

The tank mounting distance, M12 connection, oil type, operating temperature and the need for STL temperature indication should be reviewed before selection.
