Knurled Fasteners
Knurled fasteners are a versatile range of hand-operated components designed for tool-free tightening and loosening. Featuring a distinctive textured (knurled) surface, these fasteners offer superior grip and control, making them ideal for frequent adjustments, temporary assemblies, or applications where accessibility and ergonomics are key. Our range includes both knurled thumb screws and nuts in various DIN standards and profiles, all available in high-quality stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
Knurled Thumb Screws:
- DIN 464 – High type, round head for applications needing increased grip and torque.
- DIN 653 – Thin type, low-profile design for confined or flush-fit assemblies.
- DIN 465 – Slotted knurled screws for hand or screwdriver use.
Knurled Thumb Nuts:
- DIN 466 – High type, larger diameter for better leverage.
- DIN 467 – Low type, slim profile ideal for limited space.
All fasteners are manufactured in stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to rust, wear, and environmental factors — suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and across a range of industries.
When to Use Knurled Fasteners:
Choose knurled fasteners when:
- Tool-free operation is required for quick assembly, disassembly, or adjustments.
- Aesthetic appeal matters — ideal for visible or customer-facing assemblies.
- Frequent access is needed, such as for maintenance or calibration.
- Tightening by hand is sufficient and controlled torque is desirable.
They're especially useful in settings where user-friendliness and efficiency are essential, without compromising on strength or reliability.
Where are Knurled Fasteners used?:
Electronics enclosures & access panels
- Laboratory and scientific instruments
- Camera rigs and lighting setups
- Display systems and exhibition stands
- Machinery guards and covers
- Test fixtures and production jigs
- Medical and food-grade equipment (thanks to stainless steel properties)
Knurled fasteners are an excellent solution for industries that demand precision, ease of use, and corrosion-resistant materials. Whether you need high-profile grip or a discreet, low-profile fit, our comprehensive range offers the ideal fastening solution.
