Aluminum Knob Housing: A Textured Grip Component for Device Operation

Combining Grip, Durability, and Operational Precision for Enhanced Device Functionality

Introduction

This aluminum alloy housing is specifically designed for adjustment knobs in various devices, made from high-quality 6063-T5 aluminum alloy. Key features include a wave-textured surface for enhanced grip friction, a side groove for secure anti-slip positioning, and a lightweight, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant construction, making it an ideal choice for aluminium enclosures for electronics that require both functionality and durability. It is a vital operational and aesthetic component for knobs used in instruments, electronic devices, and mechanical systems.

Daily Uses

• Knob Operation Grip: The housing fits over device shafts, with the wave texture improving rotational handling and preventing slippage during use, making it a perfect solution for custom aluminum enclosure applications that require precision and grip.

• Shaft Anti-Slip Fixation: The side groove locks with the internal shaft, ensuring the housing rotates synchronously with the shaft for precise force transmission.

• Structural Protection & Decoration: Protects the internal shaft from dust and minor impacts, while adding a metallic, polished look to the device.

Processing Technology

• Profile/Bar Stock Preparation: Aluminum alloy bars are selected as the base material for machining, making them an excellent choice for custom aluminum cases that require precision and strength.

• CNC Turning: The cylindrical main body is turned, and internal holes are created to match the shaft precisely.

• Milling Textures: CNC milling is employed to produce the wave-textured surface and side positioning grooves, with dimensional accuracy controlled within ±0.05mm.

• Surface Finishing:

  • Sandblasting/Matte Anodizing: The anodized surface has a dark gray finish, providing enhanced wear and corrosion resistance (film thickness: 8-20μm).

• Precision Calibration: Internal holes and grooves are precisely calibrated for compatibility with the shaft.
