Grayhill has developed a selection of attractive and durable control knobs ergonomically designed to complement its wide range of high-quality rotary switches and encoders.

They are available in the UK through EAO.

The choice of control knobs includes, knobs with or without fingertip depressions, "teardrop" shapes that act as pointers and grooved knobs for better grip; designs are based on Grayhill's extensive knowledge, gained from their customers and their specific needs.

The control knobs are available in a variety of mounting methods: metal inserts with grub screws; push-on with spring clip; and nonremovable metal clip.

Many of the control knobs are available with 0.125in, 4mm and 0.25in shaft options.

Specific custom designs are available on request.

Grayhill control knobs are designed to accurately indicate position and compliment the Grayhill ranges of encoders and rotary switches, such as: the 56 Series, featuring a 12.7mm body diameter, 30 and 36-degree indexing, 200mA switching capacity with shaft and panel seals; and the 71 Series, a multideck switch providing numerous pole and switch configurations with 30 and 36-degree indexing, 250mA switching capacity and shaft diameters of 0.125in, 4mm and 0.25in.
