Elesa+Ganter 114019-KN HCK.176 NC Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114019-KN HCK.176 NC oil level indicator is a column-style industrial level indicator with electrical sensing capability. The full reference HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-NC-80-NC-KN shows that this product combines a 176 mm center-distance level indicator, zinc-plated steel fixing components, NBR sealing, a transparent polycarbonate tube, protective plate design, NC electrical sensor logic and a KN connector-oriented configuration.

Built for Industrial Hydraulic Tanks

This model is intended for oil reservoirs where maintenance teams need clear level visibility and a reliable electrical signal. The transparent PC tube makes the oil level easy to inspect from outside the tank. In daily maintenance routines, that simple visual check can reduce the risk of operating machinery with insufficient oil.

The NC sensor configuration means the electrical contact is normally closed. This logic is often selected for systems where the control circuit is expected to monitor continuity. In practical terms, it can help maintenance personnel distinguish between a real level alarm and certain wiring faults depending on the control design.

KN Version and Connection Advantage

The KN version is relevant where a more practical connector arrangement is required. Combined with the M12 interface, it supports organized cabling, easier replacement and more consistent installation across multiple machines. This can be especially useful in hydraulic units connected to PLC systems, alarm modules or machine safety circuits.

The Elesa+Ganter 114019-KN HCK.176 NC oil level indicator is a strong technical choice for hydraulic power units, compact reservoirs, lubrication skids and production machinery where oil level must be monitored without relying only on manual inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 114019 and 114019-KN?

Both are NC sensor versions, but the KN version refers to a connector-oriented configuration intended to simplify wiring and service access.

What product type is Elesa+Ganter 114019-KN?

It is a column oil level indicator with electrical minimum-level sensing for industrial hydraulic and lubrication systems.

Why does the model use NBR?

NBR is commonly used for sealing in oil-related applications because it offers good compatibility with many mineral-oil-based fluids.

What is the role of the protective plate?

The protective plate helps guard the transparent level tube against accidental knocks, improving durability in demanding machine areas.

Can this product be connected to automation systems?

Yes. The M12 electrical connection and NC contact logic make it suitable for integration into control panels, alarms and PLC-based monitoring circuits.
