Elesa+Ganter 114167 HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-80-NC Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114167 electrical level indicator is designed for hydraulic and lubrication systems where visual level reading and normally closed electrical monitoring are required. As an HCK.176 model, it has a 176 mm centre distance, making it suitable for medium-sized reservoirs and machine tanks.

NC-80-NC Contact Function

The NC configuration means normally closed. Under normal operating conditions, the circuit remains closed. When the fluid reaches the defined minimum level point, the contact opens. This behaviour is often preferred in monitoring circuits where interruption, cable failure, or low-level condition must be evaluated carefully by the control system.

Built for Industrial Oil Monitoring

The model includes zinc-plated steel fixing elements, M12 connection, FKM sealing, a transparent polycarbonate level tube, and a polycarbonate front guard. The EHT structure supports higher temperature requirements around the float and sensing area. These details make the Elesa+Ganter 114167 HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-PC-P-EHT-NC-80-NC electrical level indicator a practical option for hydraulic power packs, lubrication units, and industrial machinery.

Why NC Logic Is Important

Normally closed monitoring can be useful where fail-aware design is needed. If the expected closed circuit is broken, the control system can treat the situation as a warning condition. This helps operators respond faster to abnormal oil level or signal integrity issues.

Elesa+Ganter 114167 FAQ

What does NC mean?

NC means normally closed. The contact opens when the minimum level condition occurs.

Why select NC instead of NO?

NC logic is often selected when the system should detect an interrupted circuit as a possible fault or warning condition.

What fluids is it mainly associated with?

It is mainly used for oil level monitoring in hydraulic and lubrication applications.

Does it provide visual reading?

Yes. The transparent polycarbonate tube allows operators to inspect the level directly.
