Product Name
Maven Replacement Parts - 3-Prong Tension Knob for Dispenser Arm
Brief Description
This product is a replacement 3-prong thumb tension knob designed for the fluid dispenser support arm of Maven dispensing systems. It is engineered to screw in and securely hold the fluid dispenser arm in a fixed position, providing a stable grip for precise dispensing applications. The knob is a lightweight alternative to metal and is resistant to common industrial substances like oil, grease, and solvents.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Securing and positioning fluid dispenser arms for accurate application of adhesives, epoxies, and sealants.- Maintaining consistent tension for repeatable dispensing processes in manufacturing and assembly.- Replacement part for worn or damaged tension knobs on Maven Little-Big-Filler components and similar fluid dispenser support arms.- Use in industrial, professional, and DIY settings where precise material dispensing is required.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing (for assembly, bonding, and sealing operations)- Metal Fabrication (for adhesive bonding of metal components)- Plastic Fabrication (for bonding and sealing plastic parts)- Construction/ Building Services (for applying sealants and adhesives)- Automotive Service/Repair (for vehicle assembly and repair using adhesives)- Distributers & Resellers (as a replacement part for dispensing equipment)- Industrial Supply (as a component for fluid dispensing systems)- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for precision bonding and assembly of medical components)- Aerospace/Defense (for high-performance adhesive applications)- Chemical Industry (in processes involving precise chemical dispensing)- Prosumer (for advanced DIY and professional-grade projects requiring accurate dispensing)
Special and Unique Features
- 3-prong thumb design for easy gripping and tightening.- Specifically designed as a replacement part for Maven fluid dispenser support arms.- Made from phenolic plastic, offering a lightweight alternative to metal.- Resistant to oil, grease, and solvents, ensuring durability in various industrial environments.- Provides a secure grip to position, tighten, and hold the dispenser arm taught.- Good impact and scratch resistance due to phenolic plastic construction.
Key Properties
- Material: Phenolic plastic- Design: 3-prong thumb knob- Function: Tensioning and securing- Resistance: Oil, grease, solvents- Durability: Good impact and scratch resistance- Weight: Lightweight
Surface Compatibility
This product is a mechanical component and does not directly interact with dispensed materials. Its compatibility relates to the dispenser arm it secures, which is typically made of metal or robust plastic, designed to hold various fluid cartridges and nozzles. The knob itself is resistant to common industrial chemicals it might come into contact with.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Generic tension knobs of similar thread size and design, though specific fit and material properties may vary.- Custom-machined metal knobs for higher torque or specific environmental resistance.- Other fastening mechanisms like quick-release clamps or lever-style handles, depending on the dispenser arm design.- Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts from other dispenser brands if compatible with the Maven arm's threading and design.
Comparison Note
The Maven 3-Prong Tension Knob is specifically engineered as a direct replacement for Maven dispenser arms, ensuring optimal fit and performance with the brand's dispensing equipment. While generic alternatives might exist, they may not offer the same material resistance (e.g., to oil, grease, solvents) or the precise ergonomic design for secure tensioning as the original Maven part. Its phenolic plastic construction provides a balance of lightweight design and resistance to common industrial contaminants, which might differ from metal or other plastic alternatives.
