subject: Industrial World Thankful For Knob And Handle Manufacturers [print this page] Any engine or mechanized device will at some stage of its composition have at least one lever, handle or knob that enables a user to control it. Specifically, when addressing the subject of heavy construction machinery, there are a variety of knobs, handles and shifters that are intended and tailored for operator interaction.
Heavy duty equipment knobs and handles such as shift handles, clamp knobs and handle knobs are part of the controlling and adjusting aspects of equipment such as loaders, tractors and graders. Due to constant use under sometimes rugged conditions, equipment handles and knobs are frequently subject to wear and tear. Fortunately for those in search of handle manufacturers or knob manufacturers specializing in the production and distribution of these small but important items there are some very solid choices, such as DimcoGray of Centerville, Ohio.
DimcoGray has been producing industrial and commercial knobs and handles for more than 85 years. Not only do they service the needs of those in the construction field, but they also serve the farming, medical and mechanical control industries among other specialty areas;
some which require customization.
Speaking of Customization
There are times when something seemingly small and insignificant like an instrument knob or machine handle will have a sizeable impact on the functionality of a vital piece of equipment within an industrial or even military setting. With this in mind, there will always be certain knobs and handles that must be custom fit to the OEMs specific farm or construction machinery.
Agricultural equipment knobs and construction machinery knobs and handles must be able to withstand the toughest outdoor environments and still maintain an ergonomic design for ease of use in the field. A myriad of machine knob options are available for nearly every foreseeable farming and construction application, including:
* Commercial loaders, tractors and graders
* Agricultural combines, sprayers, tillers, cutters, shredders, tractors, etc.
* Hydraulic levers
* Shifting knobs
* Clamping for cage/windows
* Seat adjustments
* PTO knobs
* Raise/lower
* Cranking handles
* Position/maneuver knobs and handles
Knob and handle manufacturers will work with the OEM in need to determine the exact specifications of the part in question, and will configure it using computer aided design (CAD) if need be to ensure seamless integration.
Parts for Every Industrial Need
In addition to construction equipment, companies providing handles, knobs, shifters and other apparatuses that accommodate human and machine interaction have a very important role in the area of medical equipment. In fact, the aforementioned DimcoGray recently opened a branch called DG Medical which is dedicated solely to servicing the medical device and equipment industry.
Handles, knobs and shifters are vital pieces within the operational aspects of manufacturing. Its comforting for industries in the manufacturing field to know there are companies dedicated to serving this very specialized market and are ready to meet whatever knob or handle needs that may surface.
