Elesa+Ganter 114137-NP-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-NP-STL-KN Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114137-NP-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-NP-STL-KN oil level indicator is designed for clear visual monitoring of fluid level in hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication units, industrial tanks, and machine systems where reliable level reading supports maintenance planning. As part of the HCK.176 family, this model uses a 176 mm fixing centre distance, making it suitable for compact and medium-sized machine layouts.

Technical Structure and Material Details

This HCK.176 configuration includes zinc-plated steel fixing elements, an M12 connection format, FKM sealing elements, and a transparent PC body for direct fluid visibility. The “NP” structure indicates a version without a front protective plate, while “STL” refers to a temperature-related probe configuration. The “KN” suffix supports a connector-based arrangement, which can simplify installation and maintenance access in industrial environments.

Where It Is Commonly Used

The Elesa+Ganter 114137-NP-KN oil level indicator is commonly selected for hydraulic power units, oil tanks, gearboxes, lubrication systems, and industrial machinery where both fluid level and temperature awareness are important. The transparent column helps technicians check operating conditions without opening the tank, reducing unnecessary downtime and contamination risk.

Why This Model Matters in Maintenance

In many machines, low oil level can cause overheating, pump wear, seal damage, or unexpected stoppages. A correctly installed HCK.176 oil level indicator gives maintenance teams a fast, external reference point. Its FKM sealing structure is especially valuable where oil resistance and thermal stability are required.
