Elesa+Ganter 108825 BT.40-SST-P-M10X55-SV32 Fluted Clamping Knob
The Elesa+Ganter 108825 fluted clamping knob is a manual locking component built for assemblies that need secure tightening, corrosion-conscious material selection and better protection for the clamped surface. Known by the full code BT.40-SST-P-M10X55-SV32, this version includes a black PA technopolymer knob, an AISI 303 stainless steel M10x55 threaded stud and an SV32 thrust pad made from POM technopolymer.
Product Overview
Within the BT-SST-p-SV range, this model stands out because of its 55 mm stud length. That extra length can be important in equipment where hardware must pass through thicker structures, guards, support plates or multi-layered assemblies before engaging the threaded connection. The 40 mm knob diameter provides a stable hand grip for frequent manual use, while the fluted shape improves handling during tightening and loosening.
Technical and Material Benefits
The body material is a polyamide-based technopolymer with a matte black finish, chosen for durability and good tactile performance. The stainless steel stud supports use in environments where resistance to corrosion is a practical requirement. The integrated thrust pad is especially valuable in setups where the clamped surface should not be damaged by direct stud contact. This can make the product attractive for applications involving painted panels, machined surfaces or frequently adjusted components.
Ideal Applications for the 108825
The Elesa+Ganter 108825 BT.40-SST-P-M10X55-SV32 fluted clamping knob can be used in machinery, food processing support equipment, technical enclosures, access systems, fixture adjustments and modular production assemblies. Its longer stud often suits installations where a shorter alternative would not provide enough engagement. For engineers and buyers, that makes this part a useful option when hardware length is a design consideration rather than a secondary detail.
Why This Variant Is Often Chosen
Longer stud versions help create more flexibility in machine design. Instead of adding extensions or redesigning a mounting point, users can often achieve the required fit with the correct knob length. That is one reason why the 108825 is relevant in professional industrial sourcing, especially when reliability and practical installation matter more than generic hardware substitution.

Elesa+Ganter 108825 FAQ
When is the Elesa+Ganter 108825 a better choice than shorter versions?
This model is a better fit when the assembly requires deeper thread engagement or when the stud must pass through thicker materials before reaching the threaded section.
What is the role of the SV32 thrust pad?
The SV32 thrust pad helps distribute contact and reduces direct pressure from the stud onto the locked surface. This can improve surface protection during repeated tightening cycles.
Is this product only for heavy-duty machinery?
No. While it is widely suitable for industrial machinery, it can also be used in technical equipment, enclosures, inspection systems and any adjustable assembly where hand-operated locking is needed.
Why is stainless steel important in this design?
The AISI 303 stainless steel stud adds a corrosion-resistant element to the assembly. That matters in many production and maintenance environments where standard steel may be less suitable over time.
