Knobs

Explore our wide collection of control knobs in various materials, colours, and sizes. Control knobs are extremely versatile and can be used in a range of applications including audio equipment, digital cameras, microscopes, taps and gas stoves, and more.

Control knobs

Control knobs are essential rotary input devices for adjusting electronic and mechanical systems, offering a reliable and intuitive user interface. They are critical in applications like test and measurement equipment, medical devices, and industrial machinery, providing precise control over variables such as volume, speed, and temperature.

Knob caps

Caps serve as both a functional and aesthetic finishing component for knobs and screws, often used to prevent accidental adjustments or to provide a specific tactile feel. In datacom and telecom applications, they are popular for tool-free, hand-driven adjustments on server racks and other modular components.

Arrow Pointers

Arrow pointers, in the context of electrical hardware, are typically physical indicators or lamp assemblies that provide visual status signals and directional guidance on machinery and control panels. These components are critical for safety and operational clarity, and they come in various colors, shapes, and sizes. They are distinct from both digital cursors and archery accessories, which are often returned in a search for this term.

Prominent brands in this category include Mentor and OKW.

Marking Element

Elements like arrow markers and pin marking elements are crucial components for knobs, serving vital roles in product identification, assembly, and user interface design. Arrow markers, often subtle indentations or raised indicators, provide directional cues, guiding users on rotation limits or specific settings for knobs used in control panels, machinery, or consumer electronics.

Pin marking elements, on the other hand, typically involve small, precise pins embedded or molded into the knob's surface. These can serve multiple purposes, such as indicating a specific rotational position, providing a tactile reference point for blind operation, or acting as alignment guides during assembly. Both types of marking elements are essential for enhancing the functionality, safety and intuitive use of products incorporating knobs.
