Gibraltar G10-0030-X Ball Knob 1 in Female Insert

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0030-X is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a smooth, hand-operable control point. The knob measures 1 inch in diameter and 15/16 inch in height, with a 5/16-24 threaded female insert and a 1/2 inch hole depth. Constructed from black phenolic material, it offers good resistance to moderate heat and electrical insulation properties. This type of knob is commonly installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers where a compact, finger-grip control is needed on panels, jigs, or fixtures.

The G10-0030-X suits applications in light industrial, manufacturing, and equipment assembly environments. It is typically used on control panels, tooling fixtures, and machine guards where a low-profile, hand-tightened fastener point is required. The smooth grip surface and compact 1-inch diameter make it well-suited for installations in confined spaces or where gloves are not typically worn during adjustment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or equipment assemblers without specialized tools. Ensure the mating stud or screw is clean and free of debris before threading the insert. Do not overtighten, as phenolic material can crack under excessive torque. Follow any applicable equipment lockout/tagout procedures before servicing panels or assemblies that contain this knob.
