Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X16 Wing Knob Overview
The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X16 wing knob is a practical manual clamping component built for dependable everyday use. In industrial environments, hand-operated knobs continue to play a critical role because they simplify adjustments, support faster setup changes, and reduce the need for tools in low-to-medium tightening tasks. This model is engineered to meet those needs with a balanced combination of grip, size, and corrosion resistance.
Product Type and Design
This product is a wing knob with an M8x16 stainless steel threaded stud. The wing profile is intended to improve manual control, while the reinforced technopolymer body helps keep the part strong without making it unnecessarily heavy. Its compact stud length makes it especially useful where installation depth is limited.
Main Benefits in Application
The Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X16 wing knob is well suited to guarding systems, machine covers, adjustable brackets, and fixtures that are opened, tightened, or repositioned regularly. Compared with tool-operated alternatives, a wing knob can save time during routine access and small positioning changes. That makes it attractive in maintenance-friendly machine design.
Material and Performance
The body material is glass-fibre reinforced polyamide-based technopolymer with a matte black finish. The threaded stud is stainless steel, which is helpful in environments where oxidation resistance matters. This mix of materials supports a practical balance between strength, usability, and durability in real production settings.
Elesa+Ganter CT.476/40-SST-P-M8X16 When to Choose the M8x16 Version
The M8x16 configuration is a good choice when a standard M8 thread is needed but the available insertion depth is relatively short. It offers a neat and efficient fastening solution for assemblies where excess stud length would be unnecessary or inconvenient. For operators, this often means cleaner layouts and easier access around the fastening point.
Common Industry Uses
Manufacturing equipment, laboratory devices, light process machinery, and technical housings often use components in this category. The goal is usually not extreme torque, but rather reliable hand adjustment and repeatable everyday handling.
