Hand wheels for position indicators

Hand wheels for position indicators

Elesa offers a selection of hand wheels and knobs manufactured in technopolymer and duroplast designed to be conjunction with position indicators. They are used to turn the drive shaft to adjust position of the machine components.


The hand wheels with larger diameters are used when higher torque is required; transversely, knobs are used for lower torque applications. For example, the boss on the crown of the MBT-XX knob, with a very small pitch level structure, allows a safe and comfortable grip, offering the operator the possibility of maneuvering sensibly and ergonomically. The indicator knobs are available with bushings for fixing to the shaft in polished or AISI 303 stainless steel. The fixing to the shaft is by means of a pressure screw without head, hexagonal slot, cup-shaped end, according to UNI 5929-85. The shell is also available in the product family to allow the closure of the compartment for housing the indicator when this is not inserted in the hand wheel for any reason.
