Rotary Knob Measurements

Body Diameter

The body diameter is measured at the base of the gripping surface and excludes any non-grippable flange or skirt and also excludes any protruding pointers, tails or position indicators. For knobs with a non-round body shape (such as hexagonal), this is measured as the maximum dimension of the shape.

This knob has a body diameter of 15.1mm.

Maximum Diameter

The maximum diameter of the knob is determined by measuring the widest part of the knob, which includes any base flange or skirt but excludes any protruding pointers, tails, or position indicators. This roundest and widest part of the knob is usually situated at the base.

This knob has a maximum diameter of 15.1mm.

Minimum Insertion Depth

The minimum insertion depth is the minimum distance that the shaft needs to be inserted into the knob body to engage with the shaft fixing. Typically, the more the shaft is inserted into the knob, the stronger the shaft coupling will be.

This knob has a minimum insertion depth of 6.0mm.

Maximum Insertion Depth

The maximum insertion depth refers to the maximum distance that the shaft can be inserted into the knob body. While the shaft doesn't necessarily have to fill the entire knob hole, doing so can enhance the quality of the shaft coupling.

This knob has a maximum insertion depth of 12.4mm.

Height

The height is measured from the base of the knob, taking into account any flanges, skirts, or other protrusions on the base, up to the top of the knob, including any position indicators, pointers, tails, or other knob features.

This knob has a height of 15.2mm.

Clearance

The clearance refers to the distance from the top/front of the control surface to the bottom of the knob. It is a crucial factor to take into account, and should be assessed along with the length of the shaft from the control surface, as well as the shaft insertion depth.
