Elesa+Ganter 114185 Electrical Column Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 114185 electrical column level indicator is developed for industrial applications requiring visual fluid monitoring together with normally closed electrical signaling. The full technical reference HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-NC identifies a column type level indicator with NC contact configuration and industrial-grade sealing materials.

How the NC Contact System Works

The normally closed contact remains active during standard operating conditions and changes state when the fluid reaches the minimum level point. This configuration is often preferred in industrial safety systems because interrupted wiring or abnormal conditions may be detected more effectively.

Technical Construction Details

The HCK.176 series combines fluid visibility with electrical monitoring in a compact industrial design. The GL glass tube improves long-term visibility, while FKM sealing technology supports compatibility with demanding hydraulic oils and industrial fluids. The polycarbonate protection layer adds additional resistance against accidental impact.

Importance in Hydraulic Systems

Fluid level monitoring is critical in hydraulic applications because insufficient oil levels may increase wear, overheating and system instability. The Elesa+Ganter 114185 electrical column level indicator helps operators monitor reservoir conditions before failures occur.

Typical Usage Areas

This model is commonly associated with hydraulic power units, industrial presses, lubrication systems and automation equipment requiring NC level signaling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does NC mean on the 114185 model?

NC means normally closed. The electrical circuit changes state when the minimum level condition occurs.

Why are NC contacts used in industrial systems?

NC contacts are often preferred where monitoring interrupted circuits and fault conditions is important.

What is the advantage of the glass tube design?

The glass tube supports clear fluid visibility and improved resistance in industrial environments.

Can this level indicator be used in lubrication systems?

Yes. It is suitable for lubrication reservoirs and hydraulic fluid monitoring applications.

Does the product support automated monitoring?

Yes. The NC electrical contact can be connected to industrial monitoring and alarm systems.
