Handknobs take the knocks without
shattering
The VCT range of clamping handknobs represent a significant improvement over older style products manufactured in thermosetting material (which can shatter on impact).

2nd operation machining services from Elesa-Clayton have now been extended to offer boring and reaming to H7 standard, keyway cutting, drill and tap of cross holes and more
Elesa are well known for the usability and style of their industrial components.
This can be clearly seen in the VCT range which uses the same comfortable five lobe design as the VC192 handknob, coupled with "soft" feel and a matt finish which improves appearance while reducing distracting reflections.
A major feature of the VCT series is the selection of coloured centre caps which are available in blue, red, green, grey, beige and black (standard).
These allow for colour coding of equipment functions or matching of machine finish for improved aesthetic appearance.
Female and through threaded versions are offered with brass inserts, and male versions have zinc plated steel studs.
VCT moulded handknobs come in 32, 40, 50 and 63mm outer diameters with thread sizes from M5 to M12.
They are resistant to most common solvents, oils, greases and other industrial agents. Request a free brochure from Elesa (UK) ...
