Anyone know where I might find a (6mm D profile) potentiometer knob with an extended socket?
Anyone know where I might find a (6mm D profile) potentiometer knob with an extended socket?
(OP)
I'm making a short run production of an assembly for which I have received 24 wall mount spring timer switches. Each has a knob you twist (you know the type: "turn past 10...") but in my application, we're attaching the switch 3/8" away from the knob. As such, it's really hard to get a good engagement. Has anyone come across a resource that can supply knobs with an extended "socket"? (more like a stove burner knob) I've already tried the usual mouser, mcmaster, digikey, etc. with no luck. Hoping for a less known "knobs-r-us.com" kinda resource. Thanks!

Yes, I did see that one, it looks like that guy is maybe casting them from urethane? My concern there is two things, and they're kind of the same: 1. Usually they have a little metal insert to help manage torque- none seen in that example. 2. As this is a spring timer, it will need a bit of torque/grip to get things going, and a radial design like that struggles a bit in that regard- I assume thats why the spring timer knobs usually have a blade kind of design. Thanks for the suggestion though!
