Gibraltar G10-0030BE Ball Knob Female Insert 1 in Phenolic

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0030BE is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount, designed for use as a hand-operated control knob on machinery, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The knob measures 1 inch in diameter with a 15/16-inch height and features a smooth grip surface in black phenolic construction. The female insert accepts an M6x1x11 threaded stem, with an 11mm hole depth and a 1/2-inch hub diameter. This style of ball knob is commonly installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need a low-profile, finger-tightened control point on panels, jigs, or adjustment assemblies.

This ball knob is suited for light industrial and mechanical applications where a compact, hand-tightened knob is needed on threaded shafts or studs. The female insert style means it threads directly onto a male-threaded stud or bolt already in place on the equipment. Typical installation environments include machine tool adjustments, enclosure latching mechanisms, and fixture-positioning assemblies. The black phenolic material provides resistance to moderate heat and common shop chemicals, making it a practical choice for both production floor and maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the knob directly onto a compatible M6x1x11 male stud. Ensure the mating stud is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing or replacing control knobs on live machinery. Hand-tighten only — avoid using tools that could crack or damage the phenolic body.
