These new SUPER-Technopolymer knobs extend Elesa’s portfolio and set a new standard in industrial applications.

Superior Material for Modern Industry

Manufactured from SUPER-Technopolymer, a high-performance engineering plastic already widely used in Elesa products, the new knobs maintain the same dimensions as traditional steel and stainless-steel versions while adding numerous advantages.

Key benefits include:

  • Corrosion resistance for damp or aggressive environments
  • Chemical and solvent compatibility
  • Safe, long-lasting outdoor use
  • High mechanical strength from reinforced structure
  • Lightweight for improved efficiency
  • Electrical insulation

Versatile Mounting Options

The range includes five versions to suit different needs:

  • Standard
  • With a hexagon socket for key tightening
  • With spherical end
  • With technopolymer thrust pad
  • With a screwdriver slot for tightening

Why SUPER-Technopolymer Stands Out

Elesa leverages advanced laboratory expertise to create next generation technopolymers derived from automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries.

Advantages include:

  • Resistance to tensile, compressive, and flexural stress
  • Thermal and chemical resistance, even under shock
  • Reduced weight for higher energy efficiency
  • Smooth surface for low wear and no lubrication
  • Electrical insulation and cost-efficient production

Design Optimised for Strength and Lightness

Each component is carefully designed with optimized geometry and wall thickness, ensuring lightness without compromising structural integrity or reliability.

Expanding Elesa’s Innovative Range

The DT.464 and DT.653-AV are the latest additions to Elesa’s growing product family. With over 80 years of experience, Elesa continues to focus on developing innovative, reliable, and performance-driven solutions for industries worldwide.
