Gibraltar 7C65KQ7CAAN001G Adjustable Clamping Handle

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 7C65KQ7CAAN001G is an adjustable clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free fastening in light industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications. It uses a threaded stud mount with a 5/16-18 thread and is constructed from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which provides a firm, slip-resistant grip surface. The hub diameter measures 0.53 inches and the actual handle height is 1.12 inches. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for repeated hand-tightening cycles without operator fatigue. The black finish is standard across the product line.

This clamping handle is commonly used on machine guards, access panels, jigs, fixtures, and equipment enclosures where tool-free adjustability is required. It is appropriate for both OEM assembly and field replacement on machinery, conveyors, workholding setups, and similar applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers typically install this type of hardware in production, fabrication, and maintenance environments.
