Summary of OKW’S NEW CONTROL-KNOBS WITH OPTIONAL LED ILLUMINATION
OKW has launched elegant, ergonomic CONTROL-KNOBS for high-volume, menu-driven electronics. They fit round-shaft potentiometers or encoders (DIN 41591), suit applications from medical and lab equipment to HVAC and Smart Factory systems, and offer soft-touch grips. Optional SMD LED illumination (5 V) and RGB LEDs can light a translucent top ring and pointer line. Knobs are available with or without a side pointer line, secure via a collet fixture system, and tolerate installation torques up to 1.5 Nm (functional 1.2 Nm).
Parts used in the CONTROL-KNOBS:
- CONTROL-KNOB housing (soft-touch)
- Collet fixture system
- Rotary potentiometer or encoder with round shaft end (DIN 41591)
- Pointer line on side (optional)
- Translucent optic ring (for illumination)
- SMD LED illumination (5 V)
- RGB LEDs (optional)
OKW has launched advanced new rotary/click CONTROL-KNOBS for menu-driven electronics – typically for devices manufactured in high volumes.
These elegant and ergonomic tuning knobs fit rotary potentiometers or encoders with round shaft ends (DIN 41591). They are ideal as the central element of menu-driven interfaces.
Applications include measuring and control; medical, wellness and laboratory technology; HVAC; communications; Smart Factory and building control systems.
Soft-touch CONTROL-KNOBS are easy to grip and comfortable to operate. They can be illuminated if required, using SMD LED technology (5 V). RGB LEDs allow individual lighting and colours, illuminating a translucent optic ring on the top and the pointer line (when specified).
The knobs are available with or without a pointer line on the side for fine scaling. They fit securely on potentiometer spindles, using the tried and tested collet fixture system. The maximum torque for installation is 1.5 Nm (function 1.2 Nm).
