Aluminum knobs expand options for potentiometer and encoder designs

Same Sky’s Motion and Control Group announced the addition of aluminum knobs to its knobs product line. The SAK family of aluminum knobs is compatible with Same Sky’s range of rotary potentiometers and panel mount incremental encoders featuring D-cut shafts.

Available in diamond knurled, knurled, or smooth shaft types, these aluminum knobs offer a variety of styles with or without an indicator. The knobs carry heights from 10 to 17 mm, outer diameters from 10.3 to 50.24 mm, and shaft depths from 7.1 to 15 mm. To simplify product selection, Same Sky also developed a Knobs Compatibility Guide for cross-referencing its aluminum or plastic knobs compatible with its rotary potentiometers and panel mount incremental encoders featuring 6 mm diameter D-cut shafts.

The SAK models are available immediately with prices starting at $2.50 per unit at 10 pieces through distribution. Please contact Same Sky for OEM pricing.
