Gibraltar G10-0055CN Ball Knob Female Insert Phenolic Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0055CN is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount designed for use on threaded rods, machine screws, and control shafts in industrial and mechanical equipment. The knob measures 1-15/16 inches in diameter and 1-27/32 inches in height, with a 3/8-24 threaded female insert and a hole depth of 7/8 inch. The smooth-grip red phenolic body provides a secure handhold in panel-mount and adjustment applications. This part is sold individually and is typically installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment assemblers.

The G10-0055CN is suited for use as a control knob, adjustment handle, or clamping knob on industrial machinery, fixtures, and fabricated equipment. Its female insert design threads directly onto existing male-threaded studs or hardware without additional tooling beyond hand installation. The red color aids in visual identification of critical controls or adjustment points on machinery panels and frames.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball knob for industrial machinery, fixtures, and equipment using 3/8-24 threaded male studs or hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the knob directly onto a 3/8-24 male-threaded stud or screw by hand. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing control panels or adjustment mechanisms. Do not exceed the thread engagement depth of 7/8 inch to avoid bottoming out on the stud and stressing the insert. No special tools are required for standard hand-tight installation.
