Elsa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 Fluted Knob Guide
The Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 fluted knob is designed for industrial clamping and manual positioning tasks where extended threaded reach and improved surface protection are both important. It belongs to the BT-SST-p-SV range, a series known for combining a technopolymer hand knob with a stainless steel threaded stud and a thrust pad system.
Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 Product Purpose
This model supports secure hand tightening in machinery, fixtures, and adjustable industrial assemblies. The thrust pad helps avoid direct stud-to-surface contact, which is valuable in applications where the locked part should not be scratched, dented, or stressed by a concentrated metal point.
The Elsa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 fluted knob is configured with a 32 mm knob diameter, M8 stainless steel thread, 50 mm stud length, and a 40 mm thrust pad diameter. This combination is suitable for longer reach clamping points that still benefit from a broad support area.
Material and Design Characteristics
The knob body is made from black matte polyamide-based technopolymer. The stud is produced in AISI 303 stainless steel and ends in a spherical tip. The thrust pad is made from black POM-based technopolymer. These design choices align well with applications that require hand comfort, stable fastening behavior, and improved material resistance compared with basic steel hardware.
Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 Application Areas
This knob can be used in packaging machinery, industrial workstations, production jigs, testing devices, enclosure systems, machine guarding, and adjustable support mechanisms. It is especially relevant where access depth requires a longer stud and where the locked surface should be treated with more care.

Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 Why This Version Stands Out
Among the 32 mm knob variants, this model combines one of the longer stud lengths with one of the larger thrust pad diameters. That makes it a strong candidate for assemblies where deeper engagement and better contact-area distribution are both part of the design requirement.

Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X50-SV40 FAQ
What is the advantage of a 50 mm stud in this product?
A 50 mm threaded stud can be useful when the fastening point is set deeper inside the assembly, when the component must pass through brackets or plates, or when greater engagement length is needed for the application.
Why use the SV40 pad instead of a smaller version?
The 40 mm pad provides a wider contact surface. In many applications, that can support gentler clamping behavior and help reduce direct pressure concentration on the contact area.
Is this a corrosion-resistant option?
The stud is made from AISI 303 stainless steel, which makes it more appropriate than plain steel alternatives for many technical environments where corrosion resistance matters.
Can this knob be adjusted by hand without tools?
Yes. The fluted knob design is intended for manual use, allowing operators to tighten or loosen it directly by hand in routine adjustment or setup processes.
What industries may use this component?
It is relevant in machinery manufacturing, automation, industrial maintenance, fixture building, packaging systems, process equipment, and workshop engineering where adjustable clamping points are needed.
Is this product only for heavy-duty use?
Not necessarily. It is suitable for many medium-duty manual clamping tasks, especially where usability, repeatability, and surface protection are more important than maximum torque alone.
