Gibraltar GLH-500-G Gear Lever Arm Ball Knob Type a

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-500-G is a Type A gear lever arm fitted with a ball knob, designed for use on machinery, equipment panels, and mechanical assemblies where a positive hand-operated control is required. The arm features a stainless steel shaft measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.38 inches in length, paired with a phenolic ball knob measuring 0.78 inches in diameter. The 1/4-20 threaded stem provides a secure, standard-thread engagement with 0.35 inches of thread length. At 0.07 pounds, this lever arm is a lightweight but durable control component suited for installation by maintenance technicians and machine builders.

This lever arm is used in industrial and mechanical equipment applications where a compact, hand-operable lever is needed for gear selection, valve actuation, or panel-mounted control functions. The Type A configuration and 1/4-20 stem thread make it compatible with standard threaded mounting points on equipment housings, gear boxes, and control panels in manufacturing, HVAC, and mechanical service environments. The phenolic knob material offers resistance to oils and moderate heat typical of equipment service conditions. Handle length is 2.08 inches, providing adequate leverage for frequent operator use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or machine builders using standard hand tools. De-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any control or lever components. Thread the 1/4-20 stem into the mounting point by hand first to confirm thread engagement before applying tool torque. Do not over-tighten the stem into plastic or soft-metal housings.
