It threads into the drawbar of the spindle via a 5\/8-11 thread and secures the toolholder during tool changes and cutting operations. With an overall length of 2.48 inches and a knob diameter of 0.588 inches, this retention knob meets the dimensional standards required for reliable pull-stud engagement in CAT40 spindle interfaces. The 45-degree angle radius profile is consistent with standard pull-stud geometry. Weighing 0.14 pounds, this is a precision machined component intended for installation by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis retention knob is used in CAT40 toolholder assemblies on vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers equipped with automatic tool changers. It is suited for production and job-shop environments where consistent toolholder retention and repeatable positioning are required. The knob threads directly into the toolholder body and interfaces with the machine spindle drawbar mechanism. A pilot diameter of 0.635 inches and neck diameter of 0.404 inches allow proper seating and engagement within the toolholder bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCAT40 taper size for compatibility with standard CAT40 toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-11 thread size matches standard CAT40 drawbar thread specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree angle radius pull-stud profile for proper ATC gripper engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.588 inches knob diameter and 0.635 inches pilot diameter for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnob to flange length of 1.436 inches with 0.19 inches flange thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.14 pounds for minimal spindle mass addition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Style C OEM-style retention knob for CAT40 taper toolholders with a 5\/8-11 drawbar thread.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before handling toolholder assemblies. Thread the retention knob into the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth using the appropriate spanner wrench or retention knob installation tool. Do not use thread sealants or lubricants unless explicitly specified, as improper torque or contamination can affect toolholder seating and runout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: CAT40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.588 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.404 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.635 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob to Flange Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.436 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARLEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C400TRK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARLEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52072922513714,"sku":"C400TRK","price":34.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf6a82be9a549d36f98174f47b1f5ad5.jpg?v=1790050151","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parlec-c400trk-retention-knob-cat40-5-8-11-thread","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
