Gibraltar SBK-031-G Ball Knob Threaded Hole Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SBK-031-G is a steel ball knob with a threaded hole mount designed for use as a manual control or adjustment handle in industrial, mechanical, and equipment applications. The knob measures 0.75 inches in diameter with a smooth grip surface and a threaded hole sized at 10-24, accommodating a standard stem of the same thread spec. With a hole depth of 0.375 inches, it provides secure thread engagement. Finished in a natural steel color, this knob is installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment assemblers requiring a compact, durable hand-control component.

This ball knob is suited for use in light industrial machinery, control panels, jigs, fixtures, and equipment enclosures where a compact threaded knob is needed for manual adjustment or actuation. The 10-24 thread size is a common machine screw standard, making this knob compatible with a wide range of threaded rod and fastener configurations found in commercial and industrial equipment builds and field service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with light tooling — thread the knob onto the mating 10-24 fastener or rod until seated. Verify thread engagement depth does not exceed 0.375 inches for the blind hole. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing control knobs on live machinery. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque if a set screw or locking mechanism is added separately.
