Clamping elements GN 826 are normally used in connection with control knobs and smaller handwheels.
Spindles can so be clamped gently and easily and without much construction and installation effort. The clamping wedge stiffens the spindle, e.g., to prevent maladjustments caused by vibrations or to secure the spindle after adjustment.
This clamping element can also be used to store the spindle
The clamping element may be mounted such that the clamping lever / the clamping screw is positioned either on the left or the right hand side.
Indicator arrows which can be attached to the circumference of the clamping element are found under GN 711.1.
