New lobe knobs from Elesa take a shine to harsh environments

Elesa s capability in plating glass reinforced polyamide technopolymer has led to their recent introduction of a semi-gloss chrome version of their popular VC range of 5 lobe grip knobs for clamping, locating or fixing especially for use in harsh environments such as marine or food processing.

A cost effective alternative to stainless steel for many applications the VC.692-CR features an optimal grip for operator fingers while preventing residue build up thanks to its solid form without external cavities. Now with a chrome plated finish the surface is metallically smooth to facilitate cleaning operations.

The VC.692-CR chrome surface is resistant to wear, scrapes and shocks it is particularly suitable for outdoor environments subject to unfavourable weather conditions, for example many marine applications and in general for use on machines and equipment whose parts need frequent cleaning cycles for hygiene reasons with water sprays or steam. Sizes are from 32mm to 60mm and mounting is by M6, M8 or M10 blind insert. Further information on Elesa (UK) Ltd products may be found at www.elesa.co.uk
