Control knobs allow for precise adjustments

Understanding the Use of Control Knobs

Unlike a clamping knob, where a bit of force may need to be applied to achieve a locking or clamping motion, the primary use for a control knob is for smaller and more precise adjustments of an instrument. They are often equipped with a pointer, allowing the operator to visually see the exact setting, making them particularly useful for applications requiring frequent, and sometimes rapid, calibration.

Elesa is therefore introducing new products to its range of Control Knurled Knobs. The new knobs are made from durable Duroplast, ensuring the surface maintains its glossy finish even after extended use. Additionally, the new products are available with a chrome-plated finish that not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds improved external resistance.

The knobs are available in various sizes, with diameters ranging from 35 mm to 46 mm, and are easy to secure using a transverse pressure screw. For models MI.304 and MI.304-CR, a limited operating angle can be achieved by applying stop pins in the rear guide slot.

MI.304 - Duroplast, black colour, glossy finish. MI.304-CR - Duroplast chrome-plated, glossy finish.

MI.404 - Duroplast, black colour, glossy finish. MI.404-CR - Duroplast chrome-plated, glossy finish.

The new knobs complement Elesa's already extensive range of control knobs, featuring products with various mounting options, marking indicators and scales. Learn more about Elesa control knobs.
