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

The Elesa+Ganter 114055-KN oil level indicator is designed for industrial oil tanks and hydraulic systems where visual level control, electrical switching and connector-based installation are required together. This HCK.176 series model is a practical choice for machine builders and maintenance teams that value readable oil level information and efficient wiring.

Product Construction

The model code HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW-KN describes the main technical features. HCK.176 indicates a 176 mm centre distance. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel fixing elements. M12 defines the mounting thread size. NBR identifies the sealing material, commonly used in oil-based systems. GL means the indicator uses a borosilicate glass tube for clear level visibility, while P indicates the presence of transparent front protection.

This construction supports everyday industrial use. The protected glass tube allows operators to check the oil level quickly, while the sealing system helps maintain reliable operation in hydraulic and lubrication environments.

Electrical Function and Connector Advantage

The E-SW part of the code indicates an electrical changeover contact. This provides useful flexibility for machine control circuits, allowing the signal logic to be adapted to the system design. The KN suffix identifies the connector version. This can simplify installation, reduce wiring complexity and make maintenance work more efficient when replacement or inspection is required.

Where It Fits Best

The Elesa+Ganter 114055-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-SW-KN oil level indicator is suitable for hydraulic units, lubrication reservoirs, industrial machines, presses and equipment where level status must be both visible and electrically available. It is particularly helpful in systems where standardized connector wiring improves serviceability.
