Gibraltar GLH-534-G Type C Gear Lever 5/16-18 Stem

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-534-G is a Type C gear lever with a taper end, designed for use in mechanical adjustment and control applications requiring a secure, hand-operated fastening point. The lever features a 5/16-18 threaded stem and a stainless steel shaft measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.97 inches in shaft length. The phenolic knob measures 0.98 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in knob length, providing a firm grip surface for repeated manual operation. Thread engagement length is 0.51 inches, and the overall handle length is 3.46 inches. This part is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers working with machinery, fixtures, and industrial equipment requiring hand-adjust lever controls.

The GLH-534-G suits applications in industrial machinery, machine tool fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies where a compact, hand-tightened lever is needed for adjustment or locking. The taper end configuration suits shaft insertion into tapered or standard bores on equipment requiring positive lever engagement. The phenolic knob resists moderate heat and provides electrical insulation, making it appropriate for use in environments where non-conductive grip surfaces are preferred. This lever is sized for light-duty to medium-duty manual clamping and positioning tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit lever for industrial machinery, machine tool fixtures, and mechanical assemblies using a 5/16-18 threaded stem interface with a 0.25 inch shaft diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians. Ensure the mating bore and threaded hole are clean and free of debris before inserting the shaft and engaging the stem threads. Hand-tighten only to the specified torque range of the host equipment — do not over-torque the phenolic knob assembly. No special tools are required for standard installation, though thread-locking compound may be applied per equipment manufacturer guidance.
