Elesa+Ganter 114187-KN Electrical Column Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 114187-KN HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-E-SW-KN electrical column level indicator is a technical monitoring component used where tank level visibility and electrical level signalling are both required. It belongs to the HCK.176 format, which means it is built around a 176 mm mounting centre distance and M12 threaded connection geometry.

Material and Sealing Design

The indicator combines glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer ends, zinc-plated steel fastening hardware, FKM O-rings, a borosilicate glass tube, and a polycarbonate front shield. This combination gives the unit a robust industrial profile while keeping the fluid column easy to read from the outside of the tank.

E-SW-KN Configuration

The E-SW structure provides a changeover electrical level signal, commonly used for minimum level warning. The KN suffix identifies a configured version within the same product family. In practical use, this allows machine builders and maintenance engineers to select a model that aligns with their preferred mounting and signalling requirements.

Where It Is Used

Typical applications include hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks, lubrication systems, machine tool units, and industrial fluid circuits. For related product ranges, see Elesa+Ganter industrial components.

FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 114187-KN used for?

It is used to monitor fluid level visually and transmit an electrical signal when a defined level condition occurs.

Is this a purely mechanical indicator?

No. It combines a visible column level display with electrical level sensor functionality.

Why is borosilicate glass used?

Borosilicate glass provides clear visibility and good resistance for oil, water, and water/glycol-based fluids.

What does M12 indicate?

M12 refers to the threaded connection size used for mounting the indicator to the tank wall.
