Elesa+Ganter 114161-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-SW-KN Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114161-KN electrical level indicator is a compact HCK.176 variant created for applications where visual oil level inspection and electrical level monitoring must work together. It keeps the main technical platform of the HCK.176 series: 176 mm mounting centre distance, M12 fixing size, FKM sealing, transparent polycarbonate tube, and protected viewing structure.

Compact KN Configuration

The KN suffix identifies a configuration variation within the same product family. In practical machine design, this type of variant is often considered when space around the tank, guard, or control panel is limited. The product still supports clear level visibility and electrical signalling, but its configuration helps engineers select the right fit for more restricted installation areas.

Material and Functional Advantages

The zinc-plated steel mounting elements provide reliable mechanical fastening for general industrial use. The FKM O-ring supports sealing performance in hot oil and demanding lubrication environments. The transparent PC level tube makes the fluid level easy to read, and the polycarbonate front protection adds a practical barrier against external contact.

SW Contact Logic

The SW contact is useful when the system designer wants a changeover signal at minimum level. Instead of only opening or closing one circuit, the contact changes position, which can support warning, shutdown, or monitoring logic depending on how the control circuit is wired.

Elesa+Ganter 114161-KN FAQ

What is the main difference of the KN version?

The KN version is a configuration variant within the same HCK.176 technical family and is useful when installation layout is a key consideration.

Can this product be used on hydraulic tanks?

Yes, it is designed for oil level monitoring in hydraulic and lubrication systems where visual and electrical indication are needed.

What does SW mean in this model?

SW refers to a changeover contact that switches state when the minimum fluid level is reached.

Why is polycarbonate used?

Polycarbonate provides clear visibility and practical impact resistance for everyday industrial environments.
