WN 5335.5 Quick Release Star Knobs Stainless Steel AISI 303, with Tapped Through Bore. WN 5335.5 quick release star knobs are manufactured from solid stainless steel bar. They are used in such applications where the knob has to be completely removed after the releasing operation and mounted again rapidly for re-clamping. The knob is tilted over the threaded spindle. When in position, the knob is brought into a straight position for mating of the two threads on the insert and spindle. The knob will then have to be turned only by a fraction of a rotation to achieve clamping.
