Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 Wing Knob

The Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 wing knob is a practical choice for applications that need secure manual tightening, dependable grip, and corrosion-resistant performance. This flanged wing knob combines a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide body with a stainless steel threaded stud, making it suitable for industrial environments where durability and repeatable handling matter. Because the design includes a flange and an elongated hub, it offers a more stable hand position and improved spacing from the mounting surface.

Technical Features of the CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 Wing Knob

This model is built with a 30 mm knob diameter and an M8 threaded stud. The main body is produced from black, matte-finish, glass-fibre reinforced PA technopolymer, while the stud is made from AISI 304 stainless steel. The threaded stud length is 30 mm, and the technical table also lists d2 = 15.5 mm, l = 28 mm, l1 = 8 mm, s = 7 mm, and a maximum tightening torque value of 23 Nm. These figures make the product useful in assemblies where manual locking must remain reliable without sacrificing ergonomic use.

Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 Why the Flanged Design Matters

One of the most important differences in this series is the flanged profile. A standard wing knob already helps the operator tighten and loosen parts without tools, but a flanged wing knob improves hand support and grip confidence. In daily machine adjustment tasks, operators often work quickly and repeatedly. A shape that feels stable in the hand can make small adjustments more precise and more comfortable over time.

The elongated hub also increases the distance from the fixing surface. That extra clearance is valuable in assemblies where nearby components, guards, or sheet metal edges can make access difficult. In maintenance-heavy environments, this detail can improve usability more than it first appears.

Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 Typical Applications

The Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 wing knob is commonly relevant for clamping systems, inspection covers, machine guards, light positioning mechanisms, packaging equipment, and stainless-friendly assemblies. It is especially suitable where frequent manual adjustment is needed and where exposure to moisture or aggressive cleaning routines makes stainless hardware a safer choice.

For design teams, this part can also be attractive because it balances ergonomics, corrosion resistance, and a compact manual fastening solution. It helps simplify access points that need to be opened or repositioned without introducing unnecessary tool dependence.

Elesa+Ganter CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 FAQ

What makes the CT-FG.30-SST-P-M8X30 different from a standard wing knob?

This version includes a flange and elongated hub, which help improve grip security and increase clearance from the mounting surface. That can make repeated manual adjustment easier in compact technical assemblies.

Is the stainless steel stud suitable for demanding environments?

Yes. The stud is made from AISI 304 stainless steel, which is widely used where corrosion resistance is important. It is a strong option for equipment exposed to humidity, washdown conditions, or environments where coated steel is less desirable.

Where is this wing knob most commonly used?

It fits many manual clamping and adjustment points, including machine covers, guide systems, inspection doors, enclosures, and industrial mechanisms that require secure hand tightening with consistent operator control.

Why is the M8 x 30 mm configuration useful?

The M8 thread gives a robust connection size for medium-duty fastening points, while the 30 mm stud length offers enough reach for brackets, panels, or layered assemblies that need extra threaded engagement.
