Gibraltar SBK-032-G Ball Knob Threaded Hole 0.75 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SBK-032-G is a smooth-grip ball knob designed for threaded-hole mounting applications in light industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly settings. Machined from steel with a natural finish, this knob measures 0.75 inches in diameter and accepts a number 10-32 threaded stem. It features a 3/8-inch hole depth, providing secure engagement with standard 10-32 fasteners. Installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment assemblers, it delivers a firm, hand-operable control point on panels, fixtures, jigs, and enclosures where a compact round knob is required.

This ball knob suits a range of light-duty industrial and commercial applications. Its compact 0.75-inch diameter fits in tight panel layouts where larger knobs would interfere with adjacent hardware. The 10-32 thread size is a standard machine-screw specification widely used in electronics enclosures, instrument panels, and fabricated assemblies. The natural steel finish is suitable for environments where the knob will be painted, plated, or left as-is. Typical users include machine shops, OEM equipment manufacturers, and maintenance departments performing equipment repair or modification.

Installation Notes

Ensure the receiving thread is clean and undamaged before threading on the knob. Hand-tighten only to avoid stripping the threads in the knob body. De-energize or lock out any equipment before replacing control knobs on live machinery per applicable OSHA lockout-tagout procedures.
