Ball Knobs: Ball knobs come in a large variety of different materials and sizes and are commonly used on applications that have up-down and right-left directional movement. They are also used for tightening, fastening, and pulling on an object, which makes them a perfect choice for control levers. Their round design makes for an easy and comfortable grip no matter the material.

Soft touch ball knobs feature a soft, yet tough, elastomer coating that also provides a comfortable and positive grip. For an economical alternative, plastic ball knobs are a great choice. They are made from high-quality phenolic plastic, which is smooth to the touch with a glossy finish.

Knurled ball knobs have a clean, attractive cap that features 3 design lines, giving the knob a modern look. With a removable center cap that is available in other colors, the PA6 Thermoplastic material is anthracite gray in color. The knurled ball knob has smooth burr-free belted flutes for a firm gripping surface. Simple operating, comfortable grip, and easily maintained.

T-handle Knobs: Although it is often referred to as a handle, the T-handle also falls into the knob category. The T-handle comes in different shapes with rounded, curved, and straight lines. The unique styles give the T-handle many possibilities for different applications. It is commonly used on applications that require high torque where operators must be in complete control and very meticulous with their movements. T-handles allow for powerful clamping and can adjust easily in very small hard to reach spaces.

T-handles are made with a handful of different materials such as phenolic, glass-fiber reinforced technopolymer, thermoplastic, and duroplast. If you are looking for something that has built in security we have a Nylok locking feature or high-security lock system available for multiple handles. We carry heavy duty, light duty, load rated, and extra clearance designs. If there is a small space with a high torque application that needs full control, the T-handle is a great fit.

Knurled Rim Knobs: Knurled rim knobs are made to obtain a firm grip. The small ridge patterns are rolled or cut into the material for a non-slip grip. They come in a wide variety of different styles and are often used on applications where the operator may be in contact with damp or wet surfaces. The knurled rim helps to prevent fingers from slipping to ensure positive tightening. They are also available in a handle form for use with a longer or larger surface area that requires using other directional movements.

Clamping Knobs: Clamping knobs are designed to be able to grasp comfortably to adjust applications that require turning or clamping that may require medium torque. A few different styles of knobs fall into the clamping knob category, such as star knobs which are lobe knobs that are available in a wide range of configurations from 3 to 8 lobes and provide a positive clamping action.

Wing Nuts/Screws: A clean, no-nonsense knob with ample finger pads for applications with high torque. They can also be used for applications requiring fingertip control and lower torque tightening requirements. Many plastic wing knob styles are designed to be ergonomically correct, which ensures maximum operator comfort and are great for small tight spaces.
