Looking for a complete line of industrial handles and knobs? Carrying a large, full line is no easy task, but one company has managed to stock such a large line that offering standard handles and knobs, indexing designs, and bridge styles is just the beginning. The widest range and most popular products are the various shapes of standard handles, which can be supplied in knob, ball or multi (three/four/five/six) lobe designs.
In addition to offering many shapes, these pieces are also available in multiple materials. The basic versions are made of polypropylene and are an economical solution for many applications. For a more durable piece with a high gloss finish, select pieces in a phenolic material. This is the same material that an 8 ball on a pool table is made of. For applications where a reliable grip is needed, the soft-touch line of products is the best choice. These pieces have a comfortable, non-slip rubber grip coating. For special applications where a firm hold is needed or where space is limited, indexing or clamping handles are recommended as they function like a socket wrench. The last option is bridge handles, which are heavy-duty handles that screw on to open drawers or doors.
As mentioned, multi-lobe knobs are available in three-, four-, five-, or six-lobe designs, and 5-lobe knobs are only available in soft-touch. The multi-lobed variety is available in three distinct styles: triangle, star, and scalloped. These knobs are an economical solution for light-duty clamping and clamping applications and are resistant to water and solvents. All styles of these knobs are available in both male and female.
If a 4-lobe knob is required for a heavy-duty application, there is a line designed to accommodate that need. The 4-lobe phenolic version with a high gloss finish is the right piece for the situation. It is designed for high impact resistance and is resistant to oils, fuels and greases. In addition, it also provides excellent thermal and electrical resistance. These are also available in masculine and feminine styles. Other styles of phenolic knobs include the knurled grip knob whose matte finish provides a secure grip without sacrificing strength and durability.
Newer additions of soft-touch knobs provide maximum grip and comfort while improving its impact resistance because the glass-filled polypropylene base provides stability and strength. This multifunctional range provides superior reliability and comfort and is available in low, high and multi-lobe profile knob designs. A heavy-duty indexing handle is also available.
Indexing Handles are ideal for confined spaces and operate with a simple life and rotation action and provide excellent impact and abrasion resistance. Bridge handles are made of high impact and scratch resistant nylon material and are lightweight and versatile. These bridge handles may be accompanied by available bridge handle caps for locking purposes or color coding requirements.
