Knobs
- Ball Knobs: Rounded knobs providing a comfortable grip, suitable for lever controls and handles. Ball knobs are often used where quick, repetitive movements are required.
- Clamp Knobs: Knobs used for clamping or securing objects in place. Typically found in adjustable equipment setups, they allow for quick and easy tightening or loosening without the need for additional tools.
- Control Knobs: Knobs designed for precision adjustments, often used to control settings on machinery or equipment. These knobs offer a comfortable grip for turning and adjusting values like temperature, speed, or volume.
- Finish: Options like anodized, polished, or matte provide corrosion resistance or enhance the knob’s appearance.
- Handle Type: Options include round, lever, wing, or T handles, which affect grip and torque control.
- Height: The overall height of the knob, which impacts ergonomics and the user’s ability to grip it easily.
- Knurling (Knurled Finish): A textured finish on the knob surface for better grip, especially in conditions where slippage may occur.
- Material: Common materials include plastic, metal, wood, or rubber coated, each chosen for its durability, appearance, or ergonomic benefits.
- Mounting Style: Knobs can be mounted using a through hole with a bolt or screw.
- Star Knobs: Knobs with a star shape, allowing for a firm grip and high torque. They are commonly used in equipment and machinery where secure fastening and easy adjustments are needed.
- Stud or No Stud: Some knobs are fitted with a threaded stud for direct screwing into a hole, while others require a separate screw or bolt.
- T Knobs: Shaped like the letter "T," these knobs provide strong leverage for tightening or loosening applications, making them ideal for settings that require extra torque.
- Thread Type: Knobs may have internal or external threading with common thread sizes like metric (M3, M6) or imperial (1/4" 20, 3/8" 16). Some knobs may be push on and attach without threading.
- Thumb Screws: These knobs have a knurled head, allowing for easy tightening or loosening by hand without tools. They are ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments.
- Wing Knobs: Knobs with wing like projections, enabling easy manual tightening and loosening. They are frequently used for applications where adjustments are needed by hand and quick release is important.
