Gibraltar G10-0145-D Ball Knob Female Insert Phenolic

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0145-D is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount, designed for use as a control or adjustment handle on machinery, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The knob measures 1-3/8 inches in diameter and 1-3/8 inches in height, with a smooth grip surface and a black finish. The female insert accepts a 3/8-24 threaded stem up to 1/2 inch deep, making it compatible with standard fractional-thread fasteners. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers install this type of knob wherever a hand-operable grip point is needed without a protruding stem.

This knob is suited for light to medium-duty manual adjustment applications in machine shops, assembly lines, and maintenance environments. The phenolic construction provides good resistance to oils, solvents, and moderate heat, making it a practical choice for industrial settings. The smooth hub diameter of 5/8 inches provides a defined grip transition. It installs directly onto a 3/8-24 threaded shaft or stud, requiring no special tooling beyond hand tightening in most applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the knob onto a 3/8-24 stud or bolt by hand. Ensure the mating thread is clean and undamaged before installation. Do not exceed the 1/2 inch hole depth when selecting stem length, as bottoming out can prevent full seating. Verify equipment is de-energized or secured before replacing knobs on operating machinery.
