OKW offers LED illumination option on Control-Knobs
For menu-driven interfaces, rotary or click Control-Knobs are available with optional LED illumination from OKW. The soft-touch illuminated knobs are designed for menu-driven, high volume, electronics. The ergonomic tuning knobs also fit rotary potentiometers or encoders with round shaft ends (DIN 41591). Applications include measuring and control, medical, wellness and laboratory technology, heating ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), communications, smart factory and building control systems.
The soft-touch Control-Knobs are easy to grip and comfortable to operate and can be illuminated if required, using SMD LED technology (5.0V). RGB LEDs allow individual lighting and colours, illuminating a translucent optic ring on the top and the pointer line (when specified).
The knobs are available with or without a pointer line on the side for fine scaling. They fit securely on potentiometer spindles, using the established collet fixture system. The maximum torque for installation is 1.5 Nm (function 1.2 Nm).
The Control-Knobs comprise a hard inner body, made of robust, high-quality polycarbonate and a soft-touch TPE outer shell with a functional, grooved appearance. OKW offers two sizes: 36 and 46mm diameter. The collet boreholes are suitable for 6.0mm and 0.25-inch spindles. Standard colours are nero black and volcano grey. There is also a range of accessories including an LED illumination kit, bases, covers, round nuts and a tightening spanner.
OKW can supply Control-Knobs fully customised, with a range of services available, including machining, printing, laser marking and installation or assembly.
