Gibraltar G10-2980AK Lobed Knob 5-point 2-1/4 in 1/4-20

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-2980AK is a 5-point lobed knob made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), designed for hand-tightened fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly environments. The lobed profile provides a firm ergonomic grip without tools, and the TPE material offers both flexibility and resistance to repeated handling. With a 2-1/4 inch head diameter and a 1/4-20 threaded stem, this knob is a standard fit for panels, enclosures, jigs, and adjustable fixtures across manufacturing and maintenance applications. Installation requires no special tools and is completed by hand.

This lobed knob is suited for use on equipment panels, machine guards, adjustment mechanisms, and light-duty clamping assemblies. It is commonly installed during equipment fabrication or field servicing where frequent hand-adjustment is required. The 1/4-20 thread size makes it compatible with standard fastener patterns found on a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment. Technicians in mechanical, electrical, and general maintenance trades encounter this type of hardware in routine panel and fixture work.
