Gibraltar GLH-514-G Gear Lever Arm Ball Knob Type a

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-514-G is a Type A gear lever arm with a ball knob, designed for use in machine tool, industrial equipment, and mechanical assembly applications. The handle features a stainless steel shaft paired with a phenolic ball knob, offering corrosion resistance and a firm grip under repeated use. The shaft measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 0.5-13 threaded stem and a thread engagement length of 0.63 inches. The knob diameter is 1.38 inches and the knob length is 1.28 inches. Overall handle length is 4.43 inches. Weighing 0.1 pounds, this lever arm is suited for equipment requiring a durable, hand-operable control point. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, machine assemblers, or maintenance technicians.

This lever arm is used in gear shift mechanisms, machine tool controls, and industrial equipment panels where a reliable hand-operated lever is required. The Type A configuration suits standard gear lever mounting arrangements common in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. The stainless steel shaft resists corrosion in shop and light industrial environments, while the phenolic knob withstands repeated manual operation without significant wear.
