Elesa+Ganter CT.476/25-SST-P-M5X16 Wing Knob

The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/25-SST-P-M5X16 wing knob is a robust manual fastening element intended for applications that need reliable grip, stainless steel hardware, and a longer M5 threaded reach. It belongs to the CT.476 family, a series valued for its combination of ergonomic wing geometry and reinforced technopolymer construction.

Technical Characteristics

This specific model features a 26 mm diameter, an M5 threaded stud, and a 16 mm stud length. The knob body is made from black, matte-finish, glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer. The threaded stud is produced in AISI 303 stainless steel with a chamfered flat end according to UNI 947 / ISO 4753. The product table lists L = 13 mm, l = 16 mm, b = 11 mm, and a maximum tightening torque of 7 Nm.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/25-SST-P-M5X16 Why the 16 mm Stud Length Is Important

The key advantage of the Elesa+Ganter CT.476/25-SST-P-M5X16 wing knob is its longer stud. Compared with the M5x10 version, this configuration offers more threaded engagement and greater flexibility in thicker assemblies. It is useful where the fixing point includes panels, brackets, spacers, or structural sections that demand extra reach.

That makes it particularly relevant for machine frames, inspection hatches, guard systems, control panel attachments, and adjustable support components. In many assemblies, a few extra millimetres of thread can improve fit, simplify installation, and reduce the need for workarounds.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/25-SST-P-M5X16 Operational and Material Benefits

The technopolymer body provides good rigidity and comfortable handling for repeated manual operation. The M5 thread size offers a practical balance between compact design and dependable fastening performance. Meanwhile, the stainless steel stud improves resistance to corrosion, making the component a solid option for humid industrial settings or equipment that undergoes regular cleaning.

Another strong point is ease of use. Operators can tighten or loosen the part quickly by hand, which supports efficient maintenance procedures and faster access to protected machine areas. In equipment that requires regular inspection or setup changes, that convenience can have real day-to-day value.
