JW Winco Star Knobs Are Temperature Resistant JW Winco has announced that it now offers metric size series EN 5337.8 safety star knobs with keys. The star knobs are RoHS-compliant and developed for applications where access by unauthorised personnel is not permitted. The shape of the keyhole profile is identical to the key profile, and the protruding part of the key can be folded so that releasing and clamping for the knob are not impeded, even when the key is in the lock. Made of glass-fibre reinforced technopolymer plastic, the knobs have a tapped brass insert and are temperature resistant up to 100C (215F). The hand knob has a black matte finish, and the underside plastic cover is ultrasonically welded to the handle body. They are resistant to solvents, oils, grease, and other chemical agents. The keys are made of red plastic with a stainless steel stem. Several sizes are offered as standard, and one with a stainless steel insert is available upon request.

JW Winco has announced that it is now offering GN 602 series Ergostyle zinc die-cast adjustable levers. These RoHS-compliant hand levers are suitable wherever parts have to be clamped in a confined space or in a particular lever position.The slightly arched shape of the lever is designed to provide the operator a comfortable and safe grip. The insert is connected to the lever via serrations, which can be disengaged. Pulling the lever upwards disengages the serrations, allowing it to be swivelled to the ideal clamping position. When the lever is released, the serrations automatically re-engage. Available in a variety of sizes, the levers come in tapped, blind bore and threaded stud types. The handle is zinc die-cast and the insert, screw and spring are steel with black oxide finish. A matte black, pebbled finish is offered as well as orange, red and silver. Special colours are available upon request.
