Tapered Rotary Knob with Vertical Ridges and Flat Top
Tapered Rotary Knob with Vertical Ridges and Flat Top
This control knob features a distinctive tapered cylindrical profile with vertical ridges running along its entire circumference, providing enhanced tactile feedback and secure grip during operation. The body narrows gently from base to top, culminating in a smooth, flat upper surface that creates a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
The vertical grooves are evenly spaced around the knob's perimeter, offering excellent purchase for fingertip control whilst maintaining a compact footprint. With no position indicator present on either the top surface or body, this knob is ideally suited to continuous rotation applications where visual reference to a specific position is unnecessary. The design excels in rotary encoder implementations, endless potentiometers, and tuning controls where tactile feel takes precedence over visual position marking. The flat top surface provides a modern, uncluttered appearance that complements contemporary equipment designs.

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°.
