Elesa+Ganter B.193/30-SST-p-M8x16 Knurled Knob Overview
The Elesa+Ganter B.193/30-SST-p-M8x16 knurled knob is a compact manual tightening component developed for applications that require a stainless steel threaded stud and a rigid, reliable knob body. Built with a phenolic-based PF duroplast body and an AISI 303 stainless steel stud, this version offers a balanced solution for machine builders and maintenance teams looking for controlled grip, repeatable fastening, and better resistance to corrosion.
Elesa+Ganter B.193/30-SST-p-M8x16 Product Structure and Design Logic
The B.193 series is well known for its straightforward geometry and dependable finger grip. In this specific variant, the body diameter is 31 mm and the stud size is M8 with a 16 mm stud length. That makes it particularly useful when a shorter threaded projection is required. In compact assemblies, a shorter stud can simplify installation, reduce interference with nearby parts, and help create a cleaner fastening layout.
Elesa+Ganter B.193/30-SST-p-M8x16 Material Benefits in Real Use
The glossy black PF duroplast body feels solid in the hand and is valued for its hard, durable surface. Unlike softer plastics, duroplast is often chosen when a more rigid manual control element is needed. The AISI 303 stainless steel stud adds an extra layer of practicality for equipment exposed to moisture, frequent cleaning, or environments where plated steel is not the preferred specification.
Best-Fit Applications
The Elesa+Ganter 102521 knurled knob works well on covers, machine guards, inspection doors, compact fixtures, and light-to-medium clamping points. Because the stud is shorter than longer alternatives in the same family, it is especially useful where available thread depth is limited or where designers want to avoid excess projection behind the mounting point.
Why Choose the M8x16 Version?
Not every application benefits from a long threaded stud. The M8x16 format is often the right choice when the component being secured is relatively thin, when internal space is restricted, or when a lower-profile fastening arrangement improves serviceability. It gives engineers a more precise fit within the B.193 product family.
FAQ
What is the main advantage of the M8x16 stud length?
The shorter stud length helps in tight installations where extra threaded length would be unnecessary or potentially problematic. It also supports cleaner assembly design and can reduce the chance of interference with internal components.
Is this knob appropriate for repeated manual tightening?
Yes. The knurled form is intended for repeated hand use, giving operators a consistent grip during everyday adjustment or closure tasks.
Does the stainless steel stud improve durability?
Yes. AISI 303 stainless steel improves corrosion resistance and makes the component more suitable for demanding industrial settings than comparable plated stud options.
Which industries may use this type of knob?
It can be found across packaging equipment, light process machinery, enclosures, automation assemblies, and general industrial equipment where hand-actuated fastening is required.
