Gibraltar GLH-505-G Gear Lever Arm Ball Knob 5/16-18

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-505-G is a Type A gear lever arm with ball knob designed for mechanical adjustment and control applications. The arm features a 5/16-18 threaded stem, a stainless steel shaft measuring 5/16 inches in diameter, and a phenolic ball knob with a 0.98-inch diameter. The overall handle length is 3.4 inches, with a thread length of 0.43 inches and a shaft length of 2.56 inches. The combination of a stainless steel shaft and phenolic knob makes this lever arm suitable for use in environments where corrosion resistance and a firm grip are required. Installation is handled by maintenance technicians and mechanical system assemblers.

This lever arm is suited for use in light industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications where a hand-adjustable gear lever or control arm is needed. The 5/16-18 thread pattern is a standard unified coarse thread size, making it compatible with a wide range of threaded mounting points in machinery, panels, and mechanical fixtures. The Type A configuration and ball knob handle allow for quick, tool-free adjustments in operational settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers and requires no special tooling beyond a standard wrench for initial thread engagement. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installing the stem. Do not overtighten, as the phenolic knob and threaded stem have defined torque limits based on the assembly design. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing components in the immediate area.
