Secure Parts in Seconds without Tools – with Quick Release Solutions from Ganter

Ganter has added a quick release star knob to its product range. This builds on the current selection of various quick release nuts. Together, they offer designers a wealth of options for quickly and securely fastening covers or the like without the need for tools. Removable quick release star knobs and nuts speed up set-up tasks and shorten idle times.
The quick release star knob GN 6336.9 sits firmly in the locating thread after at most one full turn. This is made possible by three retracting thread segments that pull back inside the shaft when the push button is pressed. This allows the shaft to be inserted into the threaded hole without resistance. When the push button is released, the threaded segments emerge again and grip the nearest thread turns. The knob can then be tightened with at most one full turn. The knob can be released and removed just as quickly by following these steps in reverse.
The version with increased clamping force can be used for higher axial forces on the shaft. It has a disc with ball bearing under the shaft head, which eliminates the friction under the knob. This design also reduces wear on the contact surface.
