Hand Cranks | McMaster-Carr

Round long shafts can pass through these handles for mounting versatility. Create custom threads or drill a hole in the side of the hub to secure with a set screw. Often used on cross-slide tables, these crank handles provide leverage to maximize force for turning and tightening.

Unthreaded Square Through-Hole Crank Handles

Square long shafts can pass through these handles for mounting versatility. Drill a hole in the side of the hub to secure with a set screw. These crank handles provide leverage to maximize force for turning and tightening. They are often used on cross-slide tables.

Machinable-Hub Crank Handles

Mill specific holes or keyways in the hub to meet your specifications or weld in place. Often used on cross-slide tables, these crank handles provide leverage to maximize force for turning and tightening.

Balanced Machinable-Hub Crank Handles

Balanced weight distribution prevents unintentional handle movement, even in high-vibration applications. Mill specific holes or keyways in the hub to meet your specifications or weld in place. Often used on cross-slide tables, these crank handles provide leverage to maximize force for turning and tightening.

Adjustable-Position Crank Handles

Use these crank handles for applications that involve frequent machinery adjustments. They provide leverage to maximize force for turning and tightening.

Ratcheting Crank Handles

A combination ratchet arm and revolving-grip crank handle makes frequent machinery adjustments in tight spaces fast and easy.

Hand Wheels

Unthreaded Through-Hole Spoked Hand Wheels

Create custom threads or drill a hole in the side of the hub to secure with a set screw. The spoked design allows a better grip around the rim than solid hand wheels to manually adjust valves, presses, and machine components.

Unthreaded-Hole Spoked Hand Wheels

Tap custom threads or drill a hole in the side of the hub to secure with a set screw. The spoked design allows a better grip around the rim than solid hand wheels to manually adjust valves, presses, and machine components.

Machinable-Hub Spoked Hand Wheels

Mill specific holes or keyways in the hub to meet your specifications or weld in place. The spoked design allows a better grip around the rim than solid hand wheels to manually adjust valves, presses, and machine components.

Unthreaded Through-Hole Solid Hand Wheels

Create custom threads or drill a hole in the side of the hub to secure with a set screw. Long shafts can pass through these hand wheels for mounting versatility. The wheels are solid, so they won't catch hands or material while manually adjusting valves, presses, and machine components.

Machinable-Hub Solid Hand Wheels

Mill specific holes or keyways in the hub to meet your specifications or weld in place. These hand wheels are solid, so they won't catch hands or material while manually adjusting valves, presses, and machine components.

Dial-Indicating Hand Wheels

An easy-to-read dial provides accurate settings for monitoring the number of wheel turns while manually adjusting valves, presses, and machine components.

Safety Clutch Hand Wheels

To increase operator safety in applications with high shaft speeds, these hand wheels have a clutch that allows a shaft to rotate while the wheel remains stationary. Use them to manually adjust high-speed valves, presses, and machine components.

Chain-Operated Wheels for Overhead Valves

Open and close almost any hand-wheel operated overhead valve from the floor. These wheels can also be used to operate hatches, skylights, and other overhead components.

Impact-Resistant Chain-Operated
Wheels for Overhead Valves

Made of high-strength ductile iron, these wheels withstand impact better than other wheels to open and close large or stubborn overhead valves from the floor. They can also be used to operate hatches, skylights, and other overhead components.

Handles

Tapered Lever Handles

Use these handles as grips on hand wheels and cranks to operate machinery.

Metal-Detectable Tapered Lever Handles

These handles are often used as grips on hand wheels or cranks to operate machinery around food processing lines without the risk of contaminating the food. Install them on a threaded stud.

Miniature Tapered Lever Handles

Also known as finger handles, these are less than 1" long. Use them as tiny grips on small hand wheels and cranks to operate machinery.

Machine Handles

These handles are often used for operating machinery.

Lever Handles

An easy-to-grip ball knob makes these handles a good replacement for gear levers. Use them to operate machinery.

Ball-Lever Shafts

Attach a ball knob to one of these shafts to create custom handles for operating machinery.

Milling Machine Feed Handles

Also known as quill-feed handles, these handles engage and disengage with a flick of the wrist to speed machining operations—especially when drilling deep holes.

Push-On Tapered Lever Handles

Press fit one of these handles into a shaft, rod, or hand wheel to operate machinery.

Ratchet Handles

Ratcheting action allows for quick adjustment to machinery and valves in tight spaces. All of these handles have a straight, open socket head for long shafts to pass through.

Damper Control Arms

Connect ball swivels and damper linkages to an actuating motor to control ventilation dampers.

Adjustable-Fit Valve Handles

Whether you're looking for a stopgap or permanent replacement, these valve handles adjust to fit a range of valve and faucet stem widths.

Square-Through-Hole Knobs

Primarily used on spigot valves, slide these knobs over valves with a square stem and secure them in place with your fastener.

Winches

Hand Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting

These winches are designed for occasional use.

Drill-Wind Precise-Positioning Heavy Duty
Hand Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting

Remove the handle to wind these winches with a power drill and move loads more gradually than with other winches. The one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Heavy Duty Hand Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting

Tackle frequent lifting jobs with these rugged winches—their one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Wall-Mount Heavy Duty Hand
Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting

Tackle frequent lifting jobs with these rugged winches—their one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Corrosion-Resistant Heavy Duty Hand
Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting

These winches are stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Their one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Precise-Positioning Heavy Duty Hand
Winches for Wire Rope—For Lifting

Move loads more gradually than with other winches. These take longer to wind but require less effort. Their one-piece machined gears stand up to daily use.

Precise-Positioning Heavy Duty Hand Winches
for Wire Rope—For Horizontal Pulling

One-piece gears provide more durability than the riveted gears of other hand winches. These winches move loads more gradually than standard hand winches. They take longer to wind but require less effort.
