Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 Wing Knob

The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 wing knob is a compact manual fastening component designed for light-duty adjustment points where reliable grip and corrosion resistance are essential. Built with a reinforced technopolymer body and a stainless steel threaded stud, this model is well suited for applications that need frequent hand operation in a neat, space-conscious format.

Technical Overview

This version of the CT.476 wing knob has a 20 mm diameter and an M4 threaded stud with a 6 mm stud length. The body is made from black, matte-finish, glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based technopolymer. The stud is manufactured in AISI 303 stainless steel with a chamfered flat end according to UNI 947 / ISO 4753. The technical data for this specific code lists L = 11 mm, l = 6 mm, b = 9.5 mm, and a maximum tightening torque of 4 Nm.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 Why This Small Wing Knob Is Useful

Compact machine assemblies often need fastening points that are easy to grip but do not occupy unnecessary space. That is where the Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 wing knob stands out. The 20 mm format makes it suitable for lighter adjustment tasks, access panels, covers, small brackets, and positioning elements that operators need to move by hand.

Its shape supports tool-free use, which is especially useful in maintenance routines and settings where speed matters. Instead of reaching for a spanner or screwdriver, an operator can loosen or tighten the part directly. In repetitive setups, that saves time and helps keep workflow simpler.

Material and Environmental Considerations

The reinforced PA technopolymer body offers a strong balance of rigidity and handling comfort. Meanwhile, the AISI 303 stainless steel stud supports use in applications where corrosion resistance is important. This is helpful in sectors such as food machinery support systems, packaging equipment, small industrial devices, laboratory fixtures, and equipment installed in humid areas.

Because the stud length is 6 mm, this model is especially practical when the fixing point is shallow or when excess thread protrusion would interfere with surrounding components. It is a precise, tidy option for short-engagement fastening points.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 FAQ

What type of application suits the CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 best?

This wing knob is most suitable for light-duty manual tightening points, especially in compact assemblies. It works well on small covers, access points, brackets, guides, and adjustable mechanisms where space is limited.

Why choose a stainless steel stud in a small wing knob?

Even in smaller components, corrosion resistance can be critical. AISI 303 stainless steel helps the part perform more reliably in humid or frequently cleaned environments and reduces the risk of surface deterioration associated with standard plated hardware.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/20-SST-P-M4X6 Is a 6 mm stud length enough for industrial use?

Yes, in the right assembly. A 6 mm stud length is useful where the fixing section is thin, where thread engagement is shallow, or where designers want to avoid unnecessary projection on the opposite side of the mounted part.

Does the compact size reduce usability?

Not necessarily. The CT.476 shape is designed for hand tightening, so even in the 20 mm size it remains practical for frequent manual adjustments, particularly in lighter-duty technical applications.
