Elesa+Ganter 114007-KN Column Oil Level Indicator Technical Overview
The Elesa+Ganter 114007-KN column oil level indicator, identified by HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL-KN, is a technical oil level monitoring component for industrial machinery, hydraulic reservoirs and lubrication systems. It combines a visible polycarbonate level column, protective front plate, STL temperature-related configuration and KN connector-style electrical connection.
Technical Features of HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-STL-KN
HCK.176 indicates the column oil level indicator family with a 176 mm fixing hole centre distance. This size provides a practical visible range for many industrial tanks. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel fixing elements, M12 defines the connection size, NBR identifies the oil-compatible sealing material, and PC refers to the transparent polycarbonate tube used for level visibility.
The P designation means this version includes a protective plate, making it more suitable for applications where the indicator may be exposed to external contact. STL indicates a temperature probe-related configuration, while KN identifies the connector version. Together, these features make the product suitable for systems where mechanical protection, oil level inspection and organized connection design are all important.
Why This Model Is Useful in Industrial Systems
The Elesa+Ganter 114007-KN column oil level indicator can support maintenance teams by making fluid level checks quick and visible. Instead of opening a tank or relying only on indirect signals, operators can inspect the level directly. The connector-based KN design may also simplify installation and replacement, particularly in machinery where downtime must be reduced.
Elesa+Ganter 114007-KN Application Areas
This model is relevant for hydraulic units, industrial reservoirs, machine tools, lubrication stations, oil circulation systems and equipment where temperature awareness supports operational reliability. Its protected structure makes it suitable for more demanding working zones compared with non-protected versions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the product type of Elesa+Ganter 114007-KN?
It is a column oil level indicator with a polycarbonate transparent tube, NBR sealing, protective plate, STL temperature-related configuration and KN connector design.
How does 114007-KN differ from 114007?
The KN suffix indicates a connector-based version. The 114007 model has the same core STL and protective plate structure but should not be treated as the KN connector version unless specified.
Why is the protective plate important?
The protective plate helps shield the level tube in industrial environments where the indicator may be exposed to accidental contact, tools or machine-side activity.
Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?
Yes. Its HCK.176 structure, NBR sealing and PC tube configuration make it relevant for many oil-based hydraulic and lubrication reservoir applications, provided the actual operating conditions are verified.
What should maintenance teams check regularly?
Teams should check oil level visibility, seal condition, mounting tightness, tube clarity and any temperature-related connection or reading associated with the STL and KN configuration.
