One-Touch Clamping Knobs enable secure locking of a spindle with one-touch action. These spindle locking knobs are perfect for radial feeding applications (e.g. rack and pinion—roller does not move) and thrust feeding applications (e.g. leadscrew).
The main feature of these knobs is that they enable secure locking and unlocking of spindles with a single one-touch operation and without the use of tools. The knobs provide ergonomic comfort and secure holding.
Red and blue colors on the knob indicate whether the spindle is locked or unlocked. Red indicates caution and unsafe to operate the machine, and visible blue indicates that the machine can safely operate in locked mode. A perceptible "click" alert when locking and unlocking the spindle helps notify the user.
The housing, boss, and base of the knobs are made from plastic and come in either orange or black colors. The insert is made from 304 stainless steel and the package includes one stainless steel socket head cap screw and one stainless steel cup point socket head setscrew.
They are available in 40 mm diameter and 43 mm depth. By pulling the housing until it clicks, the teeth of the knob disengage from the base. Turn the knob to rotate the spindle. By pushing the housing until it clicks, the teeth engage again and lock the rotation of the spindle.
The spindle locking knobs are ideal for adjustments of film tension on printing machines, sensor camera positions (lead screw application), and adjustments of shooter angle on conveyors to name a few.
