Elesa+Ganter 114217-KN NC Column Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 114217-KN column level indicator, coded HCK.176-ZN-M12-FKM-GL-P-EHT-NC-STL-KN, is a column-type fluid level indicator for hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks and industrial machinery. It provides visual level monitoring and normally closed electrical contact functionality in one compact component.

Technical Meaning of the Code

HCK.176 identifies the 176 mm hole centre distance. ZN refers to zinc-plated steel connection hardware. M12 indicates the thread size used for mounting. FKM shows that the product uses Viton-type synthetic rubber sealing rings, selected for demanding oil and temperature conditions.

The GL tube is borosilicate glass, while the P structure adds transparent polycarbonate front protection. This is important in industrial environments where visibility, protection and service access must be balanced.

Connector-Based NC Monitoring

The NC section indicates normally closed contact logic. The KN suffix points to the connector-style version, supporting cleaner electrical integration and easier maintenance. This can be especially helpful in hydraulic power units, where sensors and indicators may need to be disconnected during service.

Application Benefits

Elesa+Ganter 114217-KN column level indicator is suitable for systems requiring visible level checking and electrical warning capability. It is commonly relevant for oil reservoirs, machine tools, lubrication units, industrial presses and production equipment. For additional product context, visit the Elesa+Ganter page.

Elesa+Ganter 114217-KN FAQ

Why choose the KN version?

The KN connector configuration supports practical wiring, easier disconnection and more organized electrical installation.

What is the main difference between NO and NC?

NO is normally open, while NC is normally closed. The right choice depends on the machine’s control logic.

Can it be used with water-glycol mixtures?

Yes, the GL borosilicate glass version is suitable for water-glycol solutions up to the recommended concentration and conditions.

Is this product only for hydraulic oil?

No. It can also be suitable for water and glycol-based solutions when the application matches the stated limits.
