Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X40 Wing Knob Guide
The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X40 wing knob is built for industrial users who need a dependable hand-tightening component with a longer threaded reach. In machine construction and equipment maintenance, fast manual operation can make a real difference. That is why wing knobs continue to be widely used in assemblies where accessibility, repeatability, and practical grip are more valuable than tool-based fastening.
What Makes This Model Different?
This version features an M8x40 stainless steel threaded stud, giving it extra reach compared with shorter variants in the same family. That added length makes it suitable for thicker panels, deeper mounting points, or assemblies where the threaded section needs to pass through more material. At the same time, the knob retains the familiar ergonomic wing shape that supports quick manual use.
Construction and Materials
The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X40 wing knob uses a glass-fibre reinforced technopolymer body in black with a matte finish. This material choice helps deliver strength and user comfort without the unnecessary weight of a full-metal hand knob. The threaded stud is stainless steel, which improves durability and supports use in more demanding environments.
Where This Wing Knob Performs Well
This model is especially useful in machine guards, adjustment systems, modular assemblies, inspection covers, and support structures. Wherever operators need to tighten or release a component by hand, a wing knob provides a clear operational advantage. The longer stud can also simplify assembly design by reducing the need for alternative fastening formats.
Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X40 Selection Benefits
The combination of M8 thread size and 40 mm stud length makes this variant versatile. It can serve in both new equipment builds and replacement scenarios where a corrosion-resistant hand-tightening part is required. For design engineers, it offers a straightforward solution that is easy to specify and easy for end users to operate.
Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X40 Good Practice in Use
As with any manual clamping component, thread compatibility and available hand clearance should be checked before installation. When the application calls for frequent handling, selecting a comfortable and durable wing knob can improve usability over time.
