Gibraltar GLH-536-G Gear Lever Type C 5/16-18 Stem

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-536-G is a Type C gear lever with a taper end, designed for manual control and adjustment applications in industrial and mechanical equipment. The lever features a stainless steel shaft paired with a phenolic knob, combining corrosion resistance with a durable, heat-resistant grip surface. Key dimensions include a 5/16-18 threaded stem, a 0.98-inch knob diameter, a 5/16-inch shaft diameter, a 0.51-inch thread length, and a 4.65-inch handle length. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and machine operators working on equipment requiring precise manual positioning or locking adjustments.

This gear lever is suited for use in manufacturing, automation, and general industrial machinery where a secure, hand-tightened control point is needed. The taper end shaft design facilitates engagement with compatible bores or hubs on control mechanisms. The phenolic knob provides a firm grip and resists moderate heat and chemical exposure commonly encountered in shop-floor environments. It ships individually and is available in single-piece quantities.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or millwrights. Ensure the mating bore or hub is clean and free of debris before inserting the taper end shaft. Confirm the 5/16-18 thread engagement is secure before applying operational loads. Do not use power tools to drive the knob, as the phenolic material is not rated for impact installation.
