Elesa+Ganter 108823 BT.40-SST-P-M10X45-SV32 Fluted Clamping Knob
The Elesa+Ganter 108823 fluted clamping knob is engineered for manual locking tasks that demand dependable grip, clean component protection and durable materials. The full designation BT.40-SST-P-M10X45-SV32 identifies a fluted technopolymer knob fitted with an M10x45 stainless steel threaded stud and an SV32 locking thrust pad. This makes it especially useful in industrial systems where operators need controlled tightening and frequent positional adjustment.
Key Technical Characteristics
This version has a 40 mm knob diameter and a 45 mm threaded stud length, giving it more reach than shorter alternatives in the same series. The stud is manufactured from AISI 303 stainless steel, while the knob body is made from black matte PA technopolymer. The thrust pad is produced from POM technopolymer and is intended to reduce direct pressure from the stud tip onto the target surface.
Why the M10x45 Configuration Matters
In many machine builds, the thread length directly affects how easily a knob can engage through brackets, covers, guide plates or adjustable supports. The Elesa+Ganter 108823 BT.40-SST-P-M10X45-SV32 fluted clamping knob is a practical choice where extra engagement is needed compared with a 35 mm version, but where a longer 55 mm stem would be excessive. This helps designers and maintenance teams match hardware length to the application more precisely.
Application Areas
This component is well suited to packaging lines, processing equipment, inspection stations, adjustment points on machinery and modular mechanical assemblies. Because the knob is manually operated, it supports quick setup changes without tools. That improves efficiency in workspaces where access, repeatability and operator convenience are all important.
Material Advantages for Daily Use
The stainless steel stud supports use in environments where corrosion resistance is valuable, while the technopolymer body offers a comfortable, reliable hand grip. The fluted profile helps users apply torque with confidence, even during repeated adjustment cycles. The thrust pad also adds a protective function that can be important when working with finished, coated or precision-machined surfaces.

Elesa+Ganter 108823 FAQ
What is the main benefit of the 45 mm stud length on the Elesa+Ganter 108823?
The 45 mm stud offers greater reach and thread engagement than the 35 mm option, making it useful for assemblies with thicker mounting sections or deeper threaded points.
Does the 108823 help protect the clamped surface?
Yes. The SV32 locking thrust pad is designed to avoid direct contact between the stud and the surface being locked, which can help reduce marking or localized wear.
Is this clamping knob suitable for industrial environments?
Yes. Its material combination is intended for technical use, including environments where regular handling, moisture exposure and reliable mechanical performance are part of everyday operation.
Who typically uses this type of fluted clamping knob?
Machine builders, maintenance teams, OEM designers and technical buyers often choose this kind of component for adjustable assemblies, quick-access locking points and manually controlled fixtures.
