ESD handles and knobs from Elesa

Elesa have an extensive range of ESD compatible standard machine components, including their M443-ESD grab handle and three variants of their BT fluted grip knob.

Primary uses are expected to be in electronic assembly, e.g. chip insertion equipment, PCB test and sub-assembly handling equipment, where their ability to deal with the build-up of electrostatic charge is especially important.

The M443-ESD grab handle is available in 107mm and 134mm sizes - colour is black, while the BT handle (also black) has female or male fixings as well as an open ended insert option which allows the knob to be installed at an intermediate position on a threaded shaft. Sizes for BT knobs are from 16mm to 32mm OD, with thread fixings of M5 to M10. Further information on Elesa (UK) Ltd products may be found at www.elesa.co.uk
