Gibraltar B5-25-G Fixed Handwheel Machine Handle 2 Inch

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR B5-25-G is a fixed handwheel machine handle with a 1/4-20 threaded stem, designed for manual adjustment and control on industrial machinery, fixtures, and equipment. The handle features a bulb shape profile and a chrome-plated finish over a carbon steel construction. The stem measures 0.5 inches in length, and the handle itself spans 2 inches, with an overall assembly length of 2.5 inches. This type of handle is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators wherever a secure, repeatable hand-tightened grip point is needed on threaded machine components.

The B5-25-G suits light-duty to medium-duty manual clamping, positioning, and locking applications on machine tools, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The 1/4-20 thread is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes in North American manufacturing, making this handle a straightforward replacement or addition in a wide range of shop and production environments. The chrome plating provides corrosion resistance for general indoor industrial use.

Key Features

• Fixed handwheel design with bulb shape for comfortable hand grip and positive control
• 1/4-20 threaded stem for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread fastener patterns
• Chrome-plated finish over carbon steel for corrosion resistance in general industrial environments
• Compact 2-inch handle length and 2.5-inch overall length suit tight-clearance installations
• Carbon steel construction provides durable service in manual adjustment applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation handle for machinery, fixtures, jigs, and equipment using 1/4-20 threaded mounting points.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tooling beyond standard hand tools appropriate for 1/4-20 fasteners. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before threading the stem in. Do not over-torque; hand-tightening to the design clamping load is the intended use for this style of handle. No electrical power, fluid shutoff, or lockout-tagout is required for handle installation on non-energized equipment, but always follow the lockout-tagout procedures of the specific machine being serviced.
