Additional Information for Knobs and Pointers Additional Information for Knobs and Pointers

NATO Supply Class 5355 is specifically designated for Knobs And Pointers. This class is part of NATO Supply Group 53, which encompasses Hardware And Abrasives.

Knobs and pointers are essential components used in various applications, such as machinery, equipment, instruments, and control panels. They are designed to provide a grip or handle for easy operation and control. Knobs are typically round or cylindrical in shape, while pointers are used to indicate positions or measurements on a scale.

In the context of NATO supply classification, Class 5355 includes a wide range of knobs and pointers made from different materials such as plastic, metal, or wood. These components may have various features, including textured surfaces for improved grip, ergonomic designs, and different sizes to suit different applications.

The NATO Supply Group 53, Hardware And Abrasives, encompasses a broad range of items related to hardware and abrasive materials. This group includes various products such as fasteners, hinges, locks, tools, and abrasives used for cutting, grinding, and polishing.

By categorizing Knobs And Pointers under Class 5355 within Supply Group 53, NATO ensures efficient management and standardization of these components for military and defense purposes. This classification system helps in inventory management, procurement, and logistics planning for NATO member countries.

What is a Knob? 37224 Items
A Knob is an item designed to transmit manual, rotary or linear motion to other devices. May include detachable or nondetachable stud (shaft), pointer, or skirt. It may have reference markings in the form of dots, arrows, hairlines, and/or symbols which may be used in conjunction with a calibrated panel, vernier indicator, and the like to indicate the position or motion of items. For items having spokes or simulated spokes radiating from near the center to near the outside rim of the item and relatively thin round disk-shaped items 3 inches (76.2 mm) in diameter or over, see HANDWHEEL. For items calibrated in units or series of divisions to denote relative positioning of devices see DIAL, CONTROL. Excludes DOORKNOB; and HANDLE (as modified).
What is a Scale Dial? 5764 Items
A Scale Dial (DIAL,SCALE) is a dial designed to be read in conjunction with a vernier indicator, pointer(s) or like instruments, which device is not an integral part of the item. The item does not have facilities for connection to a tuning or selection mechanism to position the mechanism. However, it may be designed to be mounted on a knob used to position the mechanism. Excludes SCALEPLATE, ELECTRICAL METER. See also DIAL, CONTROL.
What is a Control Dial? 2389 Items
A Control Dial (DIAL,CONTROL) is a dial designed to be connected to a tuning or selecting mechanism to position the mechanism to some value within its adjustable range. It is designed to be read in conjunction with a vernier indicator, pointer, or like instruments which may or may not be an integral part of the item. May include a knob. For items with one graduation, letter, or symbol, or marked to indicate the position of items such as a valve, brake, or two position switch, see KNOB or HANDWHEEL. See also DIAL, SCALE.
What is a Dial Pointer? 3410 Items
A Dial Pointer (POINTER,DIAL) is an item intended to be mounted on or associated with a rotating shaft or similar device to determine relative position or definite dial and/or scale readings. Positioning may be indicated by the shape of the item or by a reference line thereon. Excludes CURSOR, INDICATOR and KNOB.
What is a Dial Window? 2288 Items
A Dial Window (WINDOW,DIAL) is a piece of transparent material specifically designed to be placed directly in front of a dial or scale to protect it from foreign matter. It is cut to size and may include a frame. It may have an index line or other marking. See also WINDOW, OBSERVATION&#59; and DIAL, SCALE.
What is a Dial Mask? 332 Items
A Dial Mask (MASK,DIAL) is an item specifically designed to be used with a multiscale dial or sector of a measuring device to limit, open or close the observation of the scale (s), or dial (s) desired. It is usually flat and contains one or more observation slots. It may be hinged or otherwise moved by rotary or straight-line motion to expose the scale or scales required for observation.
What is a Meter Pointer Adjuster? 36 Items
A Meter Pointer Adjuster (ADJUSTER,METER POINTER) is a part of a meter which is used to mechanically position the meter pointer at "0" or some other reference mark on the meter scale.
What is a Dial Cover? 176 Items
A Dial Cover (COVER,DIAL) is excludes MASK, DIAL
What is an Indicator Cursor? 328 Items
An Indicator Cursor (CURSOR,INDICATOR) is an item which is used with an indicator and is designed to be moved or rotated on the indicator in order to provide a reference line for measurement of presentations thereon.
What is a Dial Stop? 122 Items
A Dial Stop (STOP,DIAL) is a device used in conjunction with a dial to prevent movement beyond a fixed point. For items designed to grip a knob or dial, see DIAL-KNOB LOCK, ELECTRONIC COMPONENT.
What is a Panel Bushing-Shaft? 98 Items
A Panel Bushing-Shaft (BUSHING-SHAFT,PANEL) is a straight fitting with wrenching facilities on one end, external machine threads on the other end and a through hole bearing surface into which is assembled a Shaft (1), designed to transmit motion through a panel to items such as variable resistors, variable capacitors, and the like, mounted away from the panel. May include coupling devices.
What is a Bushing-Shaft Insulated Coupling? 54 Items
A Bushing-Shaft Insulated Coupling (COUPLING,INSULATED,BUSHING-SHAFT) is an item, basically cylindrical in shape, designed to mate with the shaft of a variable resistor, capacitor, and the like, to provide a high voltage insulated coupling between the shaft and knob end, and also between the electronic component and the panel. The knob end (end exposed to the operator) of the item may be terminated in a shape and/or size other than that of the component being insulated. The item includes facilities for supporting and insulating the component(s) by having female threads on one end and male threaded mounting bushing on the other end separated by an insulating material. It may also include shaft locking features. See also BUSHING-SHAFT, PANEL.
What is a Knob Attachment Device Cap? 187 Items
