All components are made from A2 / 304 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance, durability, and hygienic performance across industrial, automotive, catering, electronic, and custom applications.

Built to DIN Standards

Our thumbwheels are manufactured from A2 / 304 stainless steel and conform to DIN 464, DIN 465, DIN 467, and DIN 6334 specifications. This ensures consistency, quality, and compatibility across a wide range of applications.

Key features include:

  • Available in sizes M2 to M30
  • Male and female thread options
  • Captive design with an unthreaded section below the head (standard range)
