Elsa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 Wing Knob for Reliable Manual Fastening

The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 wing knob is intended for users who need a manual clamping component with dependable grip, practical dimensions, and durable construction. In industrial assemblies, there is often a need for a fastening solution that can be tightened and released quickly during setup, inspection, cleaning, or maintenance. A wing knob with the right thread size and stud length can make those tasks significantly easier.

This model belongs to the CT.476 family and combines a black matte glass-fibre reinforced polyamide technopolymer body with an AISI 303 stainless steel threaded stud. That combination supports comfortable operation, good dimensional stability, and improved resistance in working environments where standard steel fasteners may be less desirable.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 Technical Specifications

The Elsa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 wing knob has a 32 mm wing diameter, M6 thread, 15 mm hub length, and a 20 mm threaded stud. The listed body width parameter is 13 mm, and the maximum tightening torque value is 11 Nm. These figures make it a strong option for moderate manual clamping where more thread reach is needed than in shorter M6 variants.

  • Wing diameter: 32 mm
  • Thread size: M6
  • Stud length: 20 mm
  • Body material: glass-fibre reinforced PA technopolymer
  • Stud material: AISI 303 stainless steel

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 Why Choose the M6x20 Configuration?

The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 wing knob is well suited to applications where additional thread engagement helps improve fastening security. Compared with shorter versions, the 20 mm stud offers more reach through machine guards, brackets, support plates, and layered assembly sections. This can be particularly useful when design tolerances, washers, or mounting thickness call for a bit more usable thread length.

At the same time, the knob remains compact enough for many standard machine layouts. That makes it a practical compromise between accessibility and fastening depth. Instead of overextending the stud length unnecessarily, this version provides a measured step up that fits many real-world maintenance and adjustment tasks.

Everyday Use in Industrial Settings

Manual clamping hardware still plays a central role in machine usability. Operators frequently need to open a panel, reposition a guide, secure a small fixture, or lock an adjustable element. A product like the Elsa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 wing knob supports these actions with a shape that is easy to grip and a stud material that aligns well with environments requiring corrosion-aware component selection.

The matte technopolymer body also helps keep handling comfortable during repeated use. In many applications, that tactile quality matters more than it might seem on paper, especially where the same adjustment point is used several times a day.

Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 FAQ

What applications are suitable for the Elesa+Ganter CT.476/30-SST-P-M6X20 wing knob?

It is suitable for machine covers, light clamping points, adjustable supports, inspection doors, lab equipment, packaging systems, and many general industrial assemblies that rely on tool-free manual fastening.

Why would someone choose M6x20 instead of M6x10 or M6x16?

The 20 mm stud gives more usable thread engagement. This can help when fastening through thicker material sections or when more reach is needed to ensure secure attachment in the mating component.

Does stainless steel make a noticeable difference?

Yes, especially in environments where corrosion resistance is relevant. Stainless steel can help support longer-term reliability in humid or cleaning-intensive settings compared with less resistant stud materials.

Is the wing knob comfortable for repeated adjustment?

That is one of its main strengths. The wing form is designed for manual grip, allowing operators to tighten and loosen the component efficiently during setup and service routines.

How important is the 11 Nm tightening torque value?

It helps indicate the intended manual performance range of the knob. For engineers and maintenance teams, this offers a useful reference point when comparing different sizes or selecting a component for a particular adjustment task.
