Part Identification

(OP)
I was wondering if anyone here knows what this part is? Manufacturer name? Part number? Where I can get more of these. This came on a custom made packaging machine and i'm not having any luck trying to get replacement parts. The picture is in the attachment. Thank you!

RE: Part Identification

This is not a stock part. It looks like a standard male ratcheting adjustable lever knob with a custom collar either slipped over the threads or threaded up to the shoulder. You'll likely have to make it or have it made.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

RE: Part Identification

I have used them with the Carrlane clamps alot.

RE: Part Identification

It it's useful then contacting Carr Lane may result in it becoming a standard part. The company was founded on that principle.

RE: Part Identification

KeyGuy, is this a one-off requirement, or will you need many more of these in the future? You could possibly put one together with little trouble by taking a stock lever clamp and finding the necessary spacer or threaded stand-off and simply gluing or loc-titing it in place. We use on the order of 120,000 knobs and lever clamps a year of varying types, and we often fabricate specials in the aforementioned manner when needed. We do have a fully equipped machine shop, but spacers are an easily purchased item.
