Elsa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 Wing Knob for Compact Manual Clamping

The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 wing knob is a compact manual clamping component developed for applications that require quick adjustment, dependable hand grip, and durable materials. In equipment design, small fastening parts often influence serviceability more than expected. A properly chosen wing knob can make everyday access, alignment, and securing tasks faster and more intuitive for operators.

This version uses a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer body in black with a matte finish, paired with an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud. That material combination supports both practical handling and improved resistance in environments where humidity or regular cleaning are part of normal operating conditions.

Technical Characteristics

The Elsa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 wing knob has a 32 mm wing diameter, an M6 threaded stud, a 15 mm hub length, a 10 mm stud length, and a 13 mm body width value. Its listed tightening torque is 8 Nm, which makes it suitable for controlled hand fastening where users need secure closure without moving into heavy-duty tool tightening.

  • Wing diameter: 32 mm
  • Thread: M6
  • Stud length: 10 mm
  • Reinforced PA technopolymer body
  • AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud

Ideal Applications for an M6x10 Wing Knob

The shorter threaded stud is one of the defining advantages of this model. The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 wing knob fits especially well in compact assemblies where there is limited clearance behind the mounting surface. It can be used on covers, guards, light support plates, instrument housings, and adjustment points that do not require extended thread engagement.

In many machines, a short stud is actually the better solution because it reduces the chance of excessive projection behind the mating surface. That can help avoid interference with nearby components, cables, or moving parts. For designers aiming for neat and efficient assemblies, the M6x10 configuration can be a smart choice.

Practical Design Benefits

The wing shape supports tool-free operation, which is valuable in maintenance routines and repeated setup adjustments. Users can tighten or release the knob quickly, often improving access time during cleaning, inspection, or part replacement. The matte technopolymer surface also contributes to a consistent industrial look while offering comfortable manual contact.

Another practical point is corrosion resistance. The stainless steel stud helps the component perform more reliably in demanding settings than standard plated alternatives might. That makes it relevant for applications where long-term material behavior is a design consideration.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 FAQ

What makes the Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 wing knob different from longer-stud versions?

The key difference is the 10 mm stud length. This makes it more suitable for shallow fastening points, slim brackets, and compact assemblies where extra stud length is unnecessary or could interfere with nearby parts.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 Is this product suitable for regular manual use?

Yes. It is specifically designed for hand tightening and loosening. The wing profile helps improve grip, which makes routine adjustments more comfortable for operators and maintenance teams.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X10 Why is AISI 303 stainless steel important here?

AISI 303 stainless steel provides a useful level of corrosion resistance and durability for many industrial applications. It is often preferred where components may be exposed to moisture, cleaning cycles, or environments that are harder on standard steel parts.

Can this wing knob be used in machinery enclosures and access panels?

Yes, that is one of its common use cases. The compact dimensions and short stud make it well suited to covers, removable panels, inspection points, and light clamping tasks in industrial equipment.

Does the reinforced technopolymer body offer enough strength for daily operation?

For manual clamping applications within the intended tightening range, the reinforced PA body provides a strong balance of stiffness, handling comfort, and reduced weight. It is a practical material choice for repeated operator interaction.
