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

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0030BF is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount, designed for use as a hand-control knob on machinery, fixtures, jigs, and industrial equipment. The knob measures 1 inch in diameter with a 15/16-inch height and features a smooth grip surface in a black finish. The female insert accepts an M8x1.25x12.7 threaded stud or bolt, with a hole depth of 12.70 mm. Made from phenolic material, this knob offers good resistance to wear and heat in light industrial and manufacturing environments. It is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment builders during assembly or field service.

This ball knob is suited for use on machine tools, clamping fixtures, control panels, and similar equipment where a compact, hand-operable fastening point is needed. The female insert style threads directly onto an existing M8 stud or screw, making it a straightforward retrofit or new-build component. The 1-inch diameter and smooth phenolic body are appropriate for applications requiring a clean, low-profile knob with reliable grip. Typical use is in light industrial, manufacturing, and automation settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians during equipment assembly or service. Thread the knob directly onto the existing M8x1.25 stud by hand until fully seated. Ensure the mating stud does not exceed the 12.70 mm hole depth to avoid bottoming out and preventing full seating. No special tools are required for standard hand-knob installation.
