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

The Elesa+Ganter 114053-KN oil level indicator is a practical solution for machines that require visual oil level reading and electrical level monitoring with a connector-based installation. As part of the HCK.176 series, this model uses a 176 mm centre distance and is commonly preferred in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication systems and industrial oil tanks.

Technical Structure

The full model reference, HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NC-KN, gives useful technical information. HCK.176 defines the size series. ZN indicates zinc-plated steel fixing elements. M12 refers to the mounting connection. NBR identifies the sealing rings, which are widely used in oil-related applications. GL means the level tube is made from borosilicate glass, providing a clear viewing area for oil level inspection. P refers to the transparent front protection, designed to reduce the risk of damage from accidental contact.

The E-NC contact configuration means the product has a normally closed electrical level contact. This makes it suitable for applications where the control panel or machine circuit must react when the oil level moves outside the expected range.

What Makes the KN Version Different?

The “KN” version includes a connector-style electrical interface, generally preferred when faster installation, easier servicing and cleaner wiring are important. Instead of managing loose wiring directly at the indicator, the connector format supports a more organized electrical layout in machine building and maintenance environments.

Industrial Application Areas

The Elesa+Ganter 114053-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NC-KN oil level indicator can be used in hydraulic power packs, production equipment, presses, lubrication units and mobile machinery reservoirs. It is especially useful where a technician needs to inspect the oil level visually while the automation system receives an electrical level status.
