Kipp K0153.2A1 Lobed Knob 7 Point 0.98 in Black 10-32

Product Description

The KIPP K0153.2A1 is a 7-point lobed knob designed for manual adjustment and fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly settings. Molded from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), it provides a firm, comfortable grip with enough flex to reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. The knob features a 10-32 threaded blind hole with a 0.33-inch thread depth, allowing direct installation onto standard 10-32 threaded studs or fasteners. Its compact 0.98-inch head diameter and 0.62-inch overall height make it well suited for space-constrained panel and fixture applications. This part is typically installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment assemblers.

The K0153.2A1 is used wherever a tool-free, hand-operated fastening point is needed. Common applications include control panels, machine guarding, jigs, fixtures, enclosures, and adjustable equipment frames. The 7-lobe profile distributes grip load across multiple contact points, making it practical for moderate-torque hand tightening. It is appropriate for both light industrial and commercial equipment contexts where a clean, low-profile knob is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit lobed knob for any application using a 10-32 threaded stud or fastener requiring a compact, tool-free hand knob.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - thread the knob directly onto a 10-32 stud by hand. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not use a wrench or driver on this knob, as excess torque can damage the TPE body or the internal threaded insert. Confirm thread engagement depth does not exceed the 0.33-inch hole depth to avoid bottoming out the stud.
