The position groove gives you a reference as you turn the control. Align that reference with the panel scale during installation so the knob position corresponds to the setting range you want the user to read.

A clear reference for your control position.
KD1 is a compact knob for D-shaft potentiometers, made from sintered nylon. Its narrow cylindrical shape and visible position groove suit compact control layouts where the setting needs to remain readable. Use it when planning a new panel or replacing knobs on a compatible shaft.

A 10 mm outside diameter and 20 mm height help when planning spacing around adjacent controls. Leave enough room for fingers and for the full rotation of the knob, rather than relying only on the outside diameter.
KD1 is specified for a D-shaped potentiometer shaft. Compare the shaft profile and drawing dimensions before ordering or installing it; a D-shaft knob is not a universal fit for every round or splined control shaft.
