Machine elements displayed at Scottish show
On show at Manufacturing Technology Scotland are many examples of Elesa-Clayton standard machine elements, including new products such as Hinges, Levelling Feet, and the expanding Ergostyle range.
The knob may be tightened up as normal and with the key in place it unscrews as normal, but when the key is removed an internal ratchet mechanism operates with an audible click warning so the knob cannot be undone.
Two types of key are available - a fold down type to be left in place, e g, for use throughout the working day, and then removed; and a ball top key to be kept on a key ring for occasional use.
The VLS range comes in a standard 55mm dia grip size produced in black glass reinforced technopolymer - the keys have red moulded handles for ready identification. Request a free brochure from Elesa (UK) ...
