The ACCK series is available in round, pointer, and skirted shapes with a wide range of diameters from 10mm to 35mm, heights from 12mm to 27mm, and shaft diameters from 3mm to 6.35mm. All knobs can be customised for marking and colour – black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, yellow, and green. Metallic knobs can also be supplied with custom shapes and shaft diameters upon request.
