Elesa+Ganter 114053 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NC Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114053 oil level indicator is designed for hydraulic tanks, lubrication units and industrial reservoirs where visual level monitoring and electrical signal control are required in the same component. This model belongs to the HCK.176 series, a column-type oil level indicator with a 176 mm hole centre distance, making it suitable for systems that need a clear and practical reading range.

Technical Overview

The product code HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NC describes the main construction details. “ZN” refers to zinc-plated steel fixing elements, while “M12” indicates the threaded mounting size. “NBR” identifies the sealing material, commonly selected for oil-based fluids. “GL” points to the borosilicate glass level tube, chosen for clear visibility and stable performance in industrial environments. The “P” version includes transparent front protection, helping shield the indicator against accidental impact and external contact.

The “E-NC” part of the code is especially important. It means this version includes an electrical level contact with a normally closed configuration. In practical terms, the circuit logic is arranged to support monitoring systems where a change in oil level can trigger a signal for machine control, alarm panels or preventive maintenance routines.

Where This Oil Level Indicator Is Used

This indicator is often selected for hydraulic power units, machine tools, oil reservoirs, gear lubrication systems and industrial equipment where operators need both direct visual confirmation and electrical level feedback. The glass tube supports accurate visual inspection, while the NC contact can be integrated into automation or safety circuits.

Key Benefits

The Elesa+Ganter 114053 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NC oil level indicator combines mechanical durability, fluid visibility and electrical monitoring in one compact assembly. Its NBR sealing structure supports use with mineral oils and many hydraulic fluids. The transparent protection adds confidence in demanding production areas where accidental contact may occur.

FAQ

What type of product is Elesa+Ganter 114053?

It is a column-type oil level indicator with an integrated normally closed electrical contact. It is used to monitor oil level visually and electrically.

What does NC mean in this product code?

NC means normally closed. This contact logic is useful when the control system needs a closed circuit under normal conditions and a signal change when the level condition changes.

Is this product suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?

Yes. Its NBR sealing material, M12 mounting and oil level indicator design make it suitable for many hydraulic tank and reservoir applications.

Why is borosilicate glass used?

Borosilicate glass offers clear visibility and good stability, helping operators read the fluid level accurately during routine checks.
