Torque adjustment – precision and thread protection

The MZD knob is an innovative solution that combines the functionality of a knob with the ability to precisely adjust the tightening torque. This allows for secure fastening of components, especially in areas sensitive to damage, such as plastic or aluminum threads. It is an ideal solution for installers and users who value control and minimizing the risk of errors during assembly.

Design and operating principle

The MZD knob is equipped with a unique spring mechanism (ELESA patent) that allows you to set the desired torque in the range of 0.2 Nm to 1 Nm. The mechanism works similarly to a torque wrench – when the set value is reached, it disengages, signaled by a characteristic “click”. Adjustment is made using a screw with a cylindrical head and a hexagonal socket, hidden under a cover. The set torque is read from the scale on the dial. The durability of the mechanism has been confirmed by tests – after 60,000 cycles, no wear or changes in the torque value were observed.

Applications and benefits

The MZD knob finds application in many industries and applications where precision and component protection are crucial:

• Tooling: Mounting components in various types of tooling, ensuring stability and repeatability.
• Glass industry: Tightening elements during glass processing, minimizing the risk of damage to delicate materials.
• Machine assembly: Mounting components to machine housings with a plastic thread, protecting the thread from damage due to excessive tightening torque.
• Protection against damage: Protection of screwed, compressed or tensioned elements against overload.

Using the MZD knob translates to:

• Precision: The ability to accurately set the tightening torque ensures optimal connection tension.
• Protection: Minimizes the risk of thread damage and delicate structural components.
• Economy: The MZD knob is approximately twice as cheap as other solutions of this type available on the market.
• Durability: Made of polyamide (PA) ensures resistance to environmental conditions and long-term use.

The knob has a diameter of 47 mm and a thread length of 15 mm, and the metric thread size is 6. The material of construction is plastic, specifically polyamide (PA). The color of the knob is specified as "Other", which suggests the possibility of choosing from available options or a custom order. The knob model is a version with a threaded sleeve.
