Gibraltar G10-0055FC Ball Knob Female Insert Phenolic Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0055FC is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount, designed for use as a hand control knob on industrial machinery, fixtures, and equipment. The knob measures 1-15/16 inches in diameter and 1-27/32 inches in height, with a smooth grip exterior and a red phenolic body. The female insert accepts an M16 x 2.00 threaded fastener or stud, with a hole depth of 21.00 millimeters. Phenolic construction offers good resistance to heat and chemicals, making it a practical choice for shop-floor and light industrial environments. Maintenance technicians and machine builders are the typical installers.

This ball knob is suited for use on machine tool handles, jig and fixture assemblies, clamping mechanisms, and general industrial equipment requiring a secure, hand-tightened control point. The female insert design allows the knob to mount onto an existing threaded stud or bolt. The red color provides easy visual identification on equipment panels and assemblies. Typical applications include manual adjustments on milling machines, drill press tables, guards, and other production tooling where a reliable, repeatable handhold is needed.
