Elesa+Ganter 114215-KN Column Level Indicator Technical Overview

Elesa+Ganter 114215-KN column level indicator, coded HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NO-STL-KN, is an industrial fluid level monitoring component developed for hydraulic tanks and machine reservoirs. It combines direct visual reading with electrical level signalling, which is valuable in maintenance planning and machine safety monitoring.

Product Code Breakdown

The HCK.176 structure defines the 176 mm hole centre distance. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel screws, nuts and washers, while M12 defines the thread connection. FKM identifies the sealing material, offering strong resistance for applications involving oils, elevated temperatures and demanding industrial environments.

The GL tube is made from borosilicate glass and is protected by a removable polycarbonate front shield. This combination gives the operator a clear view of the liquid column while improving protection against external contact and contamination.

KN Connector and NO Contact Logic

The NO marking means the model uses normally open contact logic. The KN suffix indicates a connector-based execution, making installation and replacement more practical in electrical control systems. This is especially useful where machine builders want cleaner wiring, faster maintenance access and repeatable connection quality.

Industrial Application Areas

Elesa+Ganter 114215-KN column level indicator can be used in hydraulic power units, lubrication systems, industrial presses, oil tanks and compact machinery where operators need reliable local level visibility with electrical feedback.
