HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-E-NC-80-NC Technical Overview

Understanding Elesa+Ganter 114149 Electric Oil Level Indicator

Elsa+Ganter 114149 electric oil level indicator is a column-type monitoring component designed for hydraulic oil tanks and industrial reservoirs. It allows operators to check the oil level visually while also supporting electrical feedback through normally closed contact functions.

The HCK.176 designation indicates a 176 mm hole centre distance. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel fixing elements, M12 identifies the screw thread, FKM means VITON-type synthetic rubber O-rings, PC indicates the transparent polycarbonate tube and P refers to removable polycarbonate front protection. This configuration is intended for oil applications where visibility, sealing reliability and practical maintenance are required.

NC Level Contact and 80°C NC Temperature Signal

The E-NC structure indicates a normally closed level contact. In many control systems, NC contacts are preferred for fail-safe logic because a cable break or interrupted circuit may be easier to detect. The 80-NC section indicates an 80°C normally closed temperature signal, helping the system react when a defined thermal threshold is reached.

Practical Benefits for Hydraulic Equipment

Hydraulic systems depend on stable oil level and controlled operating temperature. If the level drops too low, the pump may draw air, lubrication quality can decrease and system performance may become unstable. If temperature rises too much, oil viscosity and component life may be affected. This model supports both routine inspection and electrical condition monitoring.

Elesa+Ganter 114149 FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 114149?

It is an HCK.176 electric oil level indicator with normally closed level contact and 80°C normally closed temperature signal.

What does NC mean?

NC means normally closed. The circuit is closed in its normal state and changes when the defined condition occurs.

Why is NC useful?

NC contacts are often used where interruption detection or fail-safe logic is important in industrial control systems.

What does FKM add to the product?

FKM sealing supports compatibility with oil and provides strong temperature resistance compared with standard sealing materials.

Where can this indicator be installed?

It can be installed on hydraulic tanks, lubrication reservoirs and industrial machine bodies requiring oil level visibility and electrical monitoring.
