Elesa+Ganter 114059 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114059 oil level indicator is a multifunctional column-type indicator for systems where oil level and temperature-related monitoring are both important. The full model code, HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO, shows that this version combines a visual level display, a normally open electrical level contact and an 80°C normally open temperature contact.

Technical Design

HCK.176 indicates a 176 mm hole centre distance, providing a practical visual range for many hydraulic tanks and oil reservoirs. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel fixing elements, while M12 identifies the mounting size. NBR sealing rings support use in oil-based applications. GL means the level tube is made from borosilicate glass, helping operators read the oil level clearly. The P version includes transparent front protection, adding extra security in industrial environments.

Electrical Level and Temperature Monitoring

The E-NO section identifies a normally open electrical level contact. This means the contact can be used in monitoring circuits where a signal is required when the level condition changes. The additional 80-NO part indicates a normally open temperature contact set around 80°C. This is useful in hydraulic systems because oil temperature directly affects viscosity, lubrication quality and machine performance.

By combining level and temperature monitoring in one indicator, the Elesa+Ganter 114059 HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO oil level indicator helps simplify tank instrumentation. Operators can inspect the level visually, while the electrical contacts support automation, alarms or preventive maintenance logic.

Typical Applications

This model is suitable for hydraulic power units, industrial oil reservoirs, lubrication systems, machine tools and equipment where overheating or low oil level may affect reliability. It is a strong option when maintenance teams want early warning signals without adding multiple separate components to the tank.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 114059 used for?

It is used for visual oil level monitoring, electrical level signalling and temperature-related signalling in hydraulic and lubrication systems.

What does 80-NO mean?

It indicates a normally open temperature contact associated with an 80°C switching point.

What does E-NO mean?

E-NO means the level contact is normally open. It can be integrated into control circuits that require a signal when the level status changes.

Why is temperature monitoring useful in hydraulic oil tanks?

Oil temperature affects viscosity, lubrication behavior and system efficiency. Monitoring temperature helps detect abnormal operating conditions earlier.
