MENTOR Plastic Knobs

HIGH QUALITY ELECTRONIC CONTROL KNOBS & ACCESSORIES

MENTOR is a world leading manufacturer of high quality instrument and electronic control knobs. Their wide range of standard control knobs offers stylish and ergonomic solutions for any application, with many available off-the-shelf with short delivery times and low MOQs. Customisation options can include shape, colour, radii and dimensions.

Wide Range of Electronic & Instrument Control Knobs Variants

An electronic control knob may have to perform many challenging tasks including turning, pushing, adjusting, controlling and displaying. Depending on the instrument or application, there are design, temperature-resistance and weather-resistance requirements to consider, along with ease-of-installation and cost-effectiveness.

As well as control knobs made of plastic, aluminium and chromed brass, a range of material options and fixings are available, for example different plastics, with a choice of collet or set screw fixings. In addition to MENTOR’s standard ranges, their modular Knob Systems can be fully utilised to provide the level of customisation required by the application.

Control Knobs Samples Available
