Threaded Clamping Knobs.

What are Threaded Clamping Knobs?

Threaded clamping knobs are popular fastening components in engineering and manufacturing, designed to provide a secure grip for adjusting, tightening and holding machinery and equipment in place. Their threaded design allows for precise control and near-universal application. 

Materials Used in Threaded Clamping Knobs

The choice of materials in manufacturing these fasteners significantly impacts their durability and suitability for specific environments. Common materials include:

• Polyamide (Nylon): Known for its high strength and excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications.
• Polypropylene: A lightweight thermoplastic polymer resistant to chemicals, ideal for various industrial uses.
• Stainless Steel: Offers superior strength and corrosion resistance, perfect for harsh environments and providing robust strength.

Thread Size Options

Accu’s Threaded clamping knobs are available in metric thread sizes to accommodate standard project requirements from M4 to M12. 

Common Applications

Threaded Clamping knobs are part of Accus Finishing Hardware components and used across a huge number industries and applications:

• Adjustable Workholding in CNC Machining: In precision machining workshops, threaded clamping knobs are used to secure workpieces on CNC milling and lathe machines. Operators frequently need to adjust positioning fixtures and hold-down clamps and these knobs provide a quick, tool-free solution for fastening components securely.
• Medical Equipment: In hospitals and diagnostic centers, threaded clamping knobs are used to adjust the height and positioning of ultrasound machines. Medical technicians often need to reposition imaging equipment for different patients..

Automotive and Transportation: In long-haul trucking, driver comfort is crucial for reducing fatigue. Many commercial truck armrests and seat controls use threaded clamping knobs to allow for easy adjustment of armrest height and tilt angles.
