Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X10 Wing Knob

The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X10 wing knob is a compact hand-tightening component developed for applications where a small footprint and corrosion-resistant hardware are both important. It belongs to the CT.476 series, known for combining reinforced technopolymer with a stainless steel threaded stud for practical, repeatable manual fastening.

Technical Specifications

This model features a 20 mm knob diameter, an M4 threaded stud, and a 10 mm stud length. The body is made from black, glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer with a matte finish. The threaded stud is produced in AISI 303 stainless steel and includes a chamfered flat end in line with UNI 947 / ISO 4753. The technical table for this code lists L = 11 mm, l = 10 mm, b = 9.5 mm, and a maximum tightening torque of 4 Nm.

How It Differs from the M4x6 Version

At first glance, the M4x6 and M4x10 versions appear very similar, but the longer stud changes where the part can be used. The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X10 wing knob provides additional reach for mounting through thicker panels, spacers, or layered components. That extra thread length can be valuable in assemblies where a shorter stud would not provide enough engagement.

For engineers and maintenance teams, small dimensional differences like this can have a major effect on assembly consistency. Choosing the correct stud length helps reduce installation issues and ensures the fastening point remains practical during regular use.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X10 Application Benefits

This wing knob is well suited for machine covers, adjustment points, compact housings, laboratory supports, and light industrial fixtures. Because it can be tightened and loosened by hand, it supports faster access during inspection and servicing. The technopolymer body also contributes to comfortable handling while keeping overall component weight low.

Its stainless steel stud adds another layer of functional reliability in environments where damp air, cleaning processes, or general corrosion concerns may affect hardware selection. For many technical applications, this makes it a more robust long-term option than similar components built with standard steel studs.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X10 FAQ

Why choose the CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X10 instead of the shorter version?

The 10 mm stud length is better when more thread engagement is needed. It can be useful for thicker mounting sections, stacked materials, or configurations where a 6 mm stud would be too short.

Is this wing knob intended for heavy clamping force?

This is generally a compact wing knob for lighter-duty manual fastening. It is ideal where easy hand adjustment is more important than very high tightening force.

What material is used in the main body?

The body is made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer. This material is chosen for its durability, dimensional stability, and suitability for industrial operating conditions.

Can it be used in moisture-prone settings?

Yes. The AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud improves corrosion resistance, which is helpful in humid environments or applications exposed to regular cleaning and maintenance.
