Plain Black Rotary Encoder Control Knob

Plain Black Rotary Encoder Control Knob

This control knob features a distinctive concave top surface that provides comfortable finger placement and precise control. The knob's cylindrical body has clean, straight sides that create a modern, minimalist appearance suitable for professional equipment and contemporary designs.

The absence of a position indicator makes this knob particularly well-suited for continuous rotation applications such as rotary encoders, volume controls, and tuning mechanisms where infinite rotation is required. The concave top surface offers excellent grip and tactile feedback, whilst the smooth black finish provides a sleek, professional appearance that complements both vintage and modern equipment aesthetics.

Hole Type

D Shaft Hole

A D-shaft knob features a hole with a D-shaped cross-section, having one flat side and the rest round. This configuration ensures that the knob fits snugly onto the shaft, preventing any slippage and provides absolute psoitoning of the position indicator.

The flat side of the hole aligns with the flattened side of the D-shaft, providing precise control and secure attachment. This type of hole is commonly found in knobs used in audio equipment, industrial controls, and automotive applications.

This type of hole dictates the angle of the position indicator, relative to the flat of the D shape. This is measured in degrees of rotation being either 0°, 90°, 180° or 270°.
