Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-P-M3X6 Knurled Grip Knob

The Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-P-M3X6 knurled grip knob is a compact stud-type manual control component built for precise fastening and adjustment tasks. In many industrial assemblies, a threaded stud knob simplifies installation and speeds up routine operation because the component is ready to mount directly into a matching threaded hole. For engineers and technicians, that can improve both assembly flow and maintenance convenience.

What Makes This Version Different?

Unlike blind-hole knob versions, this model is supplied with an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud. That means it is particularly useful where a male-threaded fastening point is preferred. The stud has a chamfered flat end and follows the construction style used in the B.193 stainless steel stud series. This makes the product relevant for compact equipment layouts, removable covers, instrument housings, and adjustment points where quick hand tightening is required.

Technical Specifications

The Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-P-M3X6 knurled grip knob has a body diameter of 15 mm and an overall knob length of 11 mm. It is fitted with an M3 threaded stud with a stud length of 6 mm. The knob body is manufactured from black phenolic based PF duroplast with a glossy finish. The published operating temperature range is -20°C to +110°C. The stainless steel stud contributes improved corrosion resistance compared with standard zinc-plated stud alternatives.

Best Applications for a Stud-Type Knurled Knob

This type of stainless steel knurled knob is often chosen for equipment where internal threads already exist in the mating component. Rather than using a female-threaded knob and a separate screw or shaft, a studded knob offers a more integrated solution. That can simplify part selection and reduce installation steps.

Typical use cases include machine covers, compact guards, fixture clamps, control panel retention points, laboratory equipment, and technical enclosures. Because the outer surface is knurled, operators gain a secure grip for quick manual adjustment. Even in smaller sizes, grip quality matters. A well-designed knob can make regular service work faster and more comfortable.

Material and Design Advantages

The phenolic duroplast body gives the knob a firm, stable structure that feels precise in the hand. In industrial design, that tactile quality is more important than it first appears. Operators notice when a control point feels solid and predictable. Over time, that contributes to smoother workflows and more confident daily handling.

The AISI 303 stainless steel stud adds another practical benefit. It supports better resistance to corrosion in environments where humidity, cleaning, or variable atmospheric conditions are part of normal operation. For OEMs and maintenance teams, that material choice can support longer service intervals and more dependable performance.

Why Engineers Specify This Model

The Elesa+Ganter B.193/15-SST-P-M3X6 knurled grip knob is a strong option when the design requires a threaded stud knob, machine adjustment knob, or knurled hand knob in a compact footprint. Its stud configuration makes mounting straightforward, while the stainless construction improves suitability for demanding technical environments.

FAQ

What does M3x6 mean on this knob?

M3x6 means the knob is supplied with an M3 threaded stud and a stud length of 6 mm. This is useful in compact assemblies where the mating component already has a compatible internal thread.

Why choose a studded knob instead of a female-threaded knob?

A studded knob can simplify installation because the fastening element is already integrated into the knob. This reduces part count and can make repeated assembly and disassembly more efficient in service applications.

Is the stud stainless steel?

Yes. This variant is part of the stainless steel stud execution and uses AISI 303 stainless steel, which is beneficial where corrosion resistance is a specification priority.

What kind of environments is this knob suitable for?

It is suitable for many industrial and technical settings, especially where compact dimensions, manual adjustment, and improved corrosion resistance are required. Final suitability should always be checked against the actual machine environment.

Does the knob provide enough grip even though it is small?

Yes. The knurled outer profile is specifically intended to improve hand grip. Even in a 15 mm diameter format, the surface pattern helps users tighten and loosen the knob with better control.

Can this product be used in precision equipment?

Yes. Its compact size, integrated stud, and stable material construction make it a practical option for precision devices, instrument housings, light machine assemblies, and other technical applications where space efficiency matters.
