Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-M5 Knurled Grip Knob

The Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-M5 knurled grip knob is designed for compact industrial assemblies that require dependable manual fastening and a more substantial thread size within a small-diameter knob format. In modern machinery, user contact points must do more than simply hold parts together. They need to support maintenance efficiency, provide repeatable handling, and remain stable in daily production conditions.

Product Profile

This B.193 series version features a black phenolic based duroplast body paired with an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded blind hole. The M5 thread gives the component a practical advantage in installations where a stronger manual connection is needed without moving to a significantly larger knob diameter. For engineers seeking an industrial knob that stays compact while delivering useful thread capacity, this model is an efficient choice.

Technical Details

The knob diameter is 15 mm, and the overall length is 11 mm. It is manufactured with an M5 threaded blind hole, while the body is produced from phenolic based PF duroplast with a glossy black finish. The specified service temperature range is -20°C to +110°C. This configuration makes the product suitable for many machine-building and equipment-adjustment applications where dimensional consistency and corrosion-conscious design are part of the requirement.

Typical Use Cases

The Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-M5 knurled grip knob can be used in equipment frames, adjustment brackets, machine housings, clamping interfaces, electronic or laboratory enclosures, and maintenance access points. The M5 thread is especially useful when the designer wants a more secure hand-tightened engagement than smaller thread sizes usually provide.

Another reason this type of knurled grip knob remains widely used is ergonomics. The surface profile supports a confident finger grip, making it easier for users to tighten or loosen the component without relying on extra tools. In practical terms, that can improve setup speed and simplify service procedures.

Why This Variant Stands Out

Among compact stainless steel threaded knobs, the M5 version often appeals to designers who want a stronger connection point while maintaining a small visual and mechanical footprint. The use of AISI 303 stainless steel in the threaded insert is relevant in production spaces where corrosion resistance is an ongoing concern. At the same time, the duroplast body offers the firm, solid feel expected from a high-quality machine knob.

This combination of materials supports both mechanical reliability and a clean, professional appearance. For OEM projects and retrofits alike, that balance can make selection easier.

Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-M5 Selection Guidance

When specifying a machine adjustment knob, it is useful to think beyond thread size alone. Grip comfort, environmental conditions, installation frequency, and surrounding component geometry all influence long-term performance. The Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-M5 knurled grip knob is a good fit when the application calls for a compact knob with a stronger thread format and stainless insert construction.

Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-M5 FAQ

Who typically chooses the M5 version of this knob?

The M5 version is often selected by machine builders and maintenance teams that want a more substantial manual fastening point than M3 or M4, while still keeping the knob itself compact and easy to use.

What is the difference between a blind hole knob and a threaded stud knob?

A blind hole knob has an internal female thread, so it mounts onto a matching external threaded part. A threaded stud knob includes a male stud fixed to the knob body. The right choice depends on how the assembly is designed.

Why is AISI 303 stainless steel important here?

AISI 303 stainless steel is commonly used for machined components because it offers good corrosion resistance and practical manufacturing performance. In a knob insert, it helps provide durability at the thread interface.

Is 15 mm diameter large enough for comfortable hand use?

For compact machinery and controlled manual adjustments, yes. It is intended for applications where limited space is part of the design, yet the user still needs a reliable grip point for routine operation.

Can this knob work in professional equipment with frequent adjustment cycles?

Yes, that is one of its strengths. The rigid body, knurled profile, and stainless insert make it suitable for repeated handling in many technical and industrial settings.

What industries can benefit from this kind of knob?

Common examples include packaging, instrumentation, automation, light manufacturing, technical enclosures, fixture building, and workshop equipment where manual adjustment remains part of normal machine use.
