Elesa+Ganter 114273 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC Oil Level Indicator
Product Technical Profile
The Elesa+Ganter 114273 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC oil level indicator is a column-type fluid level monitoring component developed for industrial hydraulic and lubrication systems. It combines visual oil level reading with an 80°C normally closed temperature contact, making it useful in applications where both fluid level and thermal behaviour must be monitored.
The HCK.176 section defines the 176 mm fixing hole centre distance. SST indicates stainless steel fixing elements, M12 refers to the mounting size, NBR identifies the sealing material, and PC refers to the polycarbonate viewing structure. The P detail indicates a protected design, which can be valuable in production environments where accidental impact, contact or contamination must be considered.
80°C NC Temperature Monitoring
The 80-NC configuration means that the product includes a temperature monitoring function based on an 80°C threshold with a normally closed contact. In hydraulic systems, oil temperature has a direct influence on viscosity, component wear, sealing behaviour and system efficiency. A temperature contact can help the control system or maintenance team recognise overheating risk earlier.
This makes the Elesa+Ganter 114273 HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-80-NC oil level indicator suitable for equipment where visual inspection alone is not enough. It supports a more controlled maintenance strategy by combining visible oil level information with a defined thermal signal.
Industrial Use Areas
This model can be used in hydraulic power units, presses, machine tools, lubrication systems, production machinery and compact industrial reservoirs. The stainless steel mounting elements provide mechanical confidence, while the NBR sealing structure supports many oil-based working environments.

Elesa+Ganter 114273 FAQ
What does 80-NC mean?
80-NC means the product has an 80°C temperature threshold with a normally closed contact. This contact logic can be integrated into monitoring or warning systems depending on the control design.
Why is the protected P version useful?
The P version offers a more protected structure around the viewing area. This is helpful in industrial sites where the indicator may be exposed to mechanical contact or tougher operating conditions.
Can this product help prevent overheating problems?
It does not cool the oil, but it can support earlier awareness of high temperature conditions. When connected correctly, the 80°C NC contact can contribute to alarm or control logic.
What does M12 represent?
M12 refers to the mounting size used in this configuration. It is a common industrial connection standard and helps simplify installation planning.
Who typically uses this model?
Maintenance engineers, machine builders, hydraulic system designers and production teams use this type of indicator when they need both visible oil level control and temperature-related monitoring.
