Elesa+Ganter B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 Knurled Grip Knob

The Elesa+Ganter B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 knurled grip knob is a compact clamping component designed for manual tightening tasks where reliable grip, chemical resistance, and corrosion-conscious construction matter. This version belongs to the B.193 family and combines a black phenolic based PF Duroplast body with an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud. In this specific configuration, the knob features a M6 x 20 threaded stud, a 22 mm knob diameter (D), 14 mm body height (L), 15 mm outside reference dimension (d1), and 4 mm l2.

Technical Features and Material Structure

One reason this model is widely specified for industrial assemblies is the balance between material durability and ergonomic control. The phenolic thermoset body provides a hard, dimensionally stable surface with good resistance to oils, greases, solvents, and frequent handling. The glossy black finish also helps preserve a clean technical appearance in machinery, equipment housings, and adjustment points.

The threaded stud is manufactured in AISI 303 stainless steel and features a chamfered flat end in line with ISO 4753 referenced by the manufacturer. That detail supports easier alignment during installation and helps the knob perform consistently in repeated fastening cycles. For applications where moisture, washdown conditions, or light chemical exposure are expected, the stainless stud is a practical advantage over standard steel alternatives.

Elesa+Ganter B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 Typical Application Areas

This knob is often used in machine guards, fixtures, packaging systems, inspection equipment, food-related machinery zones with indirect exposure, and maintenance access panels. Because the Elesa+Ganter B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 knurled grip knob is manually operated, it is well suited to assemblies that require regular adjustment without dedicated tools.

The knurled outer profile improves hand grip, especially when operators need quick tightening in compact spaces. The 20 mm stud length is a useful middle-ground option for designs that need enough thread engagement without creating unnecessary projection behind the mounting face.

Elesa+Ganter B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 Why This Size Matters

Compared with shorter M6 stud versions, this model offers extra reach while keeping the same compact 22 mm knob diameter. That makes it attractive for OEMs and maintenance teams standardizing on M6 fastening points across multiple subassemblies.

Elesa+Ganter B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 FAQ

What is the main benefit of the B.193/20-SST-P-M6X20 configuration?

The main advantage is its combination of compact size and stainless steel stud construction. It gives designers an M6 fixing point with 20 mm usable stud length while keeping the knob body relatively small and easy to handle.

Is this knob suitable for corrosive or humid environments?

It is better suited to humid or mildly corrosive environments than zinc-plated stud versions because it uses AISI 303 stainless steel. The exact suitability still depends on the chemical concentration, cleaning routine, and exposure time in the final installation.

What industries commonly use this type of knurled grip knob?

It is commonly specified in industrial automation, machinery manufacturing, enclosure systems, conveyors, food machinery support assemblies, and laboratory equipment where manual clamping and repeatable adjustment are needed.

Does the phenolic body offer practical advantages?

Yes. PF Duroplast is valued for rigidity, surface hardness, dimensional stability, and resistance to many workshop contaminants such as oils and greases. It also keeps a professional appearance over long service intervals.

When should this version be chosen over a shorter M6 stud model?

This version is usually preferred when the mounting interface requires deeper thread engagement or when the designer wants a little more reach behind the panel without moving up to a larger knob size.
