Elesa+Ganter 114055 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114055 oil level indicator is a column-type level monitoring component developed for hydraulic and lubrication systems where reliable oil visibility and electrical switching are needed. The model HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW provides a strong balance between mechanical construction, readable fluid level indication and signal output for industrial control systems.

Technical Characteristics

HCK.176 identifies the 176 mm hole centre distance, a useful size for medium-range level viewing on tanks and reservoirs. The ZN marking refers to zinc-plated steel mounting elements, selected for mechanical strength in industrial assemblies. M12 describes the threaded mounting format, while NBR indicates sealing rings suitable for many oil-based environments.

The GL section of the code identifies a borosilicate glass tube. This is important because clear level reading is one of the main reasons operators choose a column oil level indicator. The P version includes a transparent front protection element, helping protect the viewing area from accidental impact during operation, cleaning or maintenance.

Understanding the SW Electrical Contact

The E-SW configuration refers to an electrical changeover contact. This gives the indicator additional flexibility compared with a single contact logic. In industrial control panels, a changeover contact can support different wiring strategies depending on whether the application requires normally open or normally closed signal behavior.

Suitable Applications

The Elesa+Ganter 114055 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic power units, oil reservoirs, lubrication equipment, machine tools and process machinery. It is especially relevant where maintenance teams want a simple visual level check while the electrical contact supports monitoring, warning or machine interlock functions.
