Elesa+Ganter 114187 Electrical Column Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 114187 HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-SW electrical column level indicator is designed for visual and electrical monitoring of fluid levels in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units, and industrial reservoirs. The HCK.176 body format refers to a 176 mm hole centre distance, making it suitable for compact and medium-size tank designs where a clear external level reading is required.

Technical Structure

This model uses M12 threaded connections with zinc-plated steel screws, nuts, and washers. The FKM sealing rings support reliable sealing performance in applications involving oil, water, or water/glycol-based solutions. The GL configuration indicates a borosilicate glass transparent tube, while the P element refers to removable polycarbonate front protection for safer viewing and easier cleaning.

Electrical Monitoring Function

The E-SW configuration indicates an electrical minimum level sensor with changeover contact logic. This is useful where machinery needs a signal before the fluid level drops into a risky operating zone. Instead of relying only on visual inspection, maintenance teams can integrate the signal into control panels, PLC systems, or alarm circuits.

Application Areas

This level indicator is commonly used in hydraulic power packs, oil tanks, industrial machinery, coolant systems, and lubrication reservoirs. For more technical product families, visit Elesa+Ganter components.
