Elesa+Ganter 114059-KN Electric Oil Level Indicator for Hydraulic Systems
What Is Elesa+Ganter 114059-KN Electric Oil Level Indicator?
The Elesa+Ganter 114059-KN electric oil level indicator, identified as HCK.176-ZN-M12-NBR-GL-P-E-NO-80-NO-KN, is designed for visual and electrical monitoring of liquid level in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units, and industrial reservoirs. This model combines a 176 mm column-type sight indicator with electrical level signalling and an 80°C normally open temperature contact.
For engineers searching for a reliable Elesa+Ganter 114059-KN electric oil level indicator, this component offers a practical way to observe fluid level while also supporting machine safety through signal-based monitoring.
Technical Structure and Material Details
The HCK.176 format refers to the 176 mm centre distance design. ZN indicates zinc-plated steel fixing elements, while M12 defines the mounting thread. NBR sealing is suitable for oil-based applications where dependable sealing is important. GL refers to the glass level tube, and P indicates a transparent front protection element that helps protect the indicator in demanding working environments.
The E-NO structure means the level sensor uses a normally open contact logic. In addition, the 80-NO temperature contact can be used when a signal is required at 80°C. This makes the product useful in hydraulic systems where both oil level and oil temperature require attention.
Where This Indicator Is Commonly Used
This model is suitable for hydraulic power packs, machine tool reservoirs, lubrication systems, industrial tanks, mobile equipment and production lines where operators need a clear visual reference supported by electrical feedback.

Why Level and Temperature Monitoring Matter
Low oil level can cause pump cavitation, unstable pressure and unnecessary component wear. Excessive temperature may reduce oil viscosity and shorten system life. A combined indicator such as Elesa+Ganter 114059-KN helps maintenance teams notice abnormal conditions earlier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Elesa+Ganter 114059-KN electric oil level indicator mean?
It refers to a HCK.176 series column-type oil level indicator with electrical level monitoring and an 80°C normally open temperature contact.
Is this model suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?
Yes. Its NBR sealing, M12 mounting structure and protected glass tube make it appropriate for many hydraulic oil reservoir applications.
What is the function of the NO contact?
NO means normally open. The contact changes state when the defined level or temperature condition is reached, depending on the circuit design.
What does the 80-NO section indicate?
It indicates a normally open temperature contact associated with an 80°C switching point.
Why is the GL glass tube important?
The glass tube provides clear visual level reading and supports accurate inspection of the fluid column during routine maintenance.
