Elesa+Ganter 114019 HCK.176 NC Column Oil Level Indicator
The Elesa+Ganter 114019 HCK.176 NC column oil level indicator is an industrial fluid-level monitoring component developed for hydraulic reservoirs and oil tanks. Its complete model code, HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NC-80-NC, identifies a 176 mm column oil level indicator with zinc-plated steel fixing parts, M12 connection, NBR sealing elements, transparent polycarbonate level tube, protective front plate and normally closed electrical sensor configuration.
Designed for Reliable Oil Level Monitoring
In hydraulic systems, oil level is directly linked to system reliability. If the level drops too low, pumps may draw air, lubrication quality may decrease and operating temperature may rise. This model gives operators a direct visual reading while also allowing the machine control system to receive an electrical level signal.
The NC contact configuration is preferred in many safety-conscious circuits because the contact is closed in its normal state. This can be useful where continuity monitoring is important and where a broken cable or open circuit must be easier to detect during troubleshooting.
Material and Construction Details
The transparent PC tube provides a clear view of the fluid column. The NBR sealing structure supports compatibility with many oil-based hydraulic fluids. The zinc-plated steel screw, nut and washer set contributes to stable installation on tank walls. The protective plate version helps reduce the risk of accidental impact on the viewing tube.
The Elesa+Ganter 114019 HCK.176 NC column oil level indicator is especially useful in hydraulic power packs, machine tools, lubrication units and industrial equipment where maintenance teams need both simple visual inspection and electrical minimum-level feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Elesa+Ganter 114019 used for?
It is used to monitor oil level in hydraulic tanks and industrial reservoirs through both visual indication and electrical level sensing.
What does NC mean?
NC means normally closed. The sensor contact is closed in its standard condition and changes state when the level reaches the switching point.
Why is an NC sensor useful?
An NC sensor can support fail-safe circuit design because an interruption in wiring may be easier to identify in certain control systems.
Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil?
Yes, the HCK.176 structure with NBR sealing is commonly selected for oil-based hydraulic applications, subject to fluid and temperature compatibility.
What does the M12 connection provide?
The M12 connection supports standardized industrial wiring, easier replacement and cleaner integration with automation panels.
