Elesa+Ganter 114141-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-KN Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114141-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-KN oil level indicator is a connector-ready HCK.176 level indicator designed for hydraulic reservoirs, lubrication equipment, and industrial machine tanks. It combines a transparent visual level column with an electrical normally closed contact and KN connector structure.

Technical Properties

This model uses a 176 mm fixing centre distance. The ZN code identifies zinc-plated steel fixing elements, M12 indicates the connection size, FKM refers to the sealing material, and PC identifies the transparent polycarbonate tube. The P version includes a protective front structure, E-NC indicates normally closed electrical contact, and KN defines the connector version for practical wiring.

Connector-Based Maintenance Advantage

The KN version is especially useful in systems where fast service access matters. During maintenance, the connector structure can simplify cable removal, replacement, inspection, and reconnection. This makes the Elesa+Ganter 114141-KN HCK.176 oil level indicator suitable for production environments where downtime must be carefully managed.

Industrial Monitoring Role

In hydraulic and lubrication systems, the oil level directly affects cooling, lubrication quality, pump protection, and machine reliability. A visible indicator helps operators inspect the tank quickly, while the NC contact supports electrical monitoring logic for alerts or control system integration.
