Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M6X30 Wing Knob Overview
The Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M6X30 wing knob is designed for users who need a dependable hand-tightening solution with extra threaded reach. In industrial equipment, the right clamping knob can make a noticeable difference in everyday usability, especially when access panels, guards, and adjustable assemblies are opened or repositioned on a regular basis.
This model combines a reinforced technopolymer knob body with a stainless steel threaded stud, making it well suited for applications where both operator comfort and environmental durability are essential. The longer 30 mm threaded stud offers additional flexibility for deeper mounting points or assemblies that require more thread engagement than shorter alternatives.
Understanding the Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M6X30 Wing Knob
The Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M6X30 wing knob is part of the CT-FG family, known for its flanged wing design and practical ergonomic profile. It is intended for manual fastening tasks where the user benefits from a secure grip and easy repeat adjustment.
Main Benefits
- 30 mm knob size for efficient manual operation
- M6 threaded stainless steel stud with 30 mm length
- Reinforced technopolymer construction
- Flange-enhanced grip for controlled tightening
- Suitable for equipment exposed to humidity or frequent cleaning
Why Choose the M6x30 Version?
Not every fastening point can be served by a short stud. The M6x30 option is particularly useful when the assembly needs more threaded penetration through brackets, panels, spacers, or accessory parts. Engineers and maintenance teams often prefer longer stud versions where structural compatibility or mounting depth requires additional reach.
That makes the Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M6X30 wing knob a good fit for machinery panels, enclosure systems, packaging machines, inspection covers, and adjustable support structures where tool-free handling remains a priority.
Material and Design Considerations
The use of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide helps create a robust knob body while preserving a user-friendly feel in the hand. Meanwhile, the AISI 304 stainless steel stud supports corrosion resistance and broad industrial compatibility. This material combination is especially relevant where the component may encounter moisture, standard chemical cleaning routines, or high-frequency handling.

Typical Use Cases
- Machine guarding systems
- Access covers and removable panels
- Adjustment assemblies with manual tightening
- Industrial enclosures and support frames
- Food, packaging, and general machinery environments
FAQ
What is the advantage of the extra 30 mm stud length?
The longer stud can improve compatibility with deeper mounting points or multi-layer assemblies. It gives designers and technicians more flexibility when parts such as panels, spacers, or brackets need additional thread engagement.
Is the Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M6X30 wing knob easy to tighten by hand?
Yes. The wing shape is specifically intended for manual operation. The flange design also contributes to a more secure grip, which can help users tighten and loosen the component with confidence during routine service tasks.
Can this part be used in equipment that is cleaned regularly?
In many cases, yes. The stainless steel stud and technopolymer body are a practical material pairing for installations where regular cleaning is expected and corrosion resistance is an important selection factor.
Who usually chooses this type of wing knob?
It is commonly relevant for machine builders, maintenance engineers, OEM buyers, panel designers, and industrial technicians looking for a standard component that combines usability, durability, and consistent dimensional performance.
Why not use a shorter M6 stud instead?
A shorter stud may work in compact assemblies, but where the fastening point is deeper or the structure includes additional thickness, the M6x30 variant can provide a more reliable fit. Choosing the correct length helps avoid weak engagement and improves installation confidence.
