Enhancing electronics handling equipment 10 September 2018

ESD grip knobs, bridge handles and levelling feet from Elesa prevent build-up of dangerous static charge and protect delicate electronic devices in the course of production or assembly processes.

In addition, they provide a comfortable means of clamping or gripping, pulling or lifting – or of levelling industrial equipment in a convenient and robust fashion.

Elesa’s Electro-Static-Discharge material is glass fibre reinforced electronic conductive polyamide plastic, with 103Ω surface and volume resistivity.

BT-ESD fluted grip knobs in male/female formats are available for use in clamping components where quick assembly or adjustment is required. These plastic knobs for grip or control functions are available up to 32mm diameter.

The M.443 ESD bridge style door pull handles are suitable for doors, draws or lifting of equipment – while LV.A-ESD-C levelling feet in sizes up to 125mm dia. are available with/without an NBR conductive non-slip base to prevent movement of the reinforced foot.
