Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 Fluted Knob
The Elesa+Ganter 106752 BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 fluted knob is built for manual clamping and adjustment tasks where compact dimensions and corrosion resistance matter. This model uses a black polyamide-based technopolymer body paired with an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud, making it a practical solution for industrial assemblies that need reliable hand-operated fastening.
Technical Overview
This version features a 32 mm knob diameter, an M8 threaded stud, and a 16 mm stud length. The body height is 22 mm, giving the component a compact footprint while still allowing a comfortable grip. Within the BT family, this format is a smart choice for applications that benefit from a shorter threaded projection and a straightforward hand-tightening interface.
Why Engineers Choose This Configuration
Search demand is consistently strong for terms such as M8 threaded knob, stainless steel stud knob, and 32 mm fluted clamping knob because these parts solve everyday adjustment and fastening challenges across many industries. The Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 is particularly useful where the stud should not extend too far into the assembly. A 16 mm thread length can help reduce interference with nearby components while still providing enough engagement for stable installation.
Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 Material Benefits in Daily Use
The technopolymer body offers low weight, a durable matte finish, and dependable resistance to normal workshop and industrial wear. The stainless steel stud improves the component’s suitability for environments where moisture, cleaning routines, or corrosion-sensitive assembly points are part of normal operation. In practical terms, that means this knob can be used in machinery, instruments, enclosures, and support structures without relying on more complex clamping hardware.
Typical Applications
This model works well in machine guarding systems, adjustable panels, service covers, laboratory equipment, and light production machinery. It is also a useful replacement part when an existing hand knob has worn threads or when a stainless steel stud is preferred over plated steel. Because the fluted profile improves grip, operators can usually make adjustments quickly and consistently without tools.
The Elesa+Ganter 106752 BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 fluted knob is best understood as a compact, corrosion-aware fastening solution for assemblies that need manual control without unnecessary bulk.

Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 FAQ
What does M8x16 mean on this knob?
M8x16 indicates that the knob has an M8 threaded stud with a 16 mm stud length. This makes it suitable for assemblies where a shorter threaded reach is preferred.
Is the threaded stud stainless steel?
Yes. This version uses an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud, which supports better corrosion resistance than standard plated alternatives in many industrial settings.
What is the advantage of the 32 mm knob diameter?
A 32 mm diameter gives a good balance between hand comfort and compact installation size. It is large enough for secure gripping but small enough for use in tighter machine layouts.
Where is a shorter stud length useful?
A shorter stud length is valuable when there is limited thread depth in the receiving part or when extra projection could interfere with moving parts, covers, or nearby hardware.
Elesa+Ganter BT.32-SST-P-M8X16 Can this knob be used as a replacement part?
Yes. It is often selected as a replacement for worn hand knobs in industrial assemblies, especially where users want to move to a stainless steel stud and a durable technopolymer body.
