Gibraltar GLH-537-G Type C Gear Lever Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-537-G is a Type C gear lever with a taper end, designed for manual clamping and positioning applications in industrial and mechanical equipment. The lever features a stainless steel shaft measuring 3.94 inches in length with a 3/8 inch shaft diameter, and a 3/8-16 threaded stem with 0.59 inches of thread engagement. The phenolic knob measures 1.18 inches in diameter and 1.81 inches in length. With an overall handle length of 5.75 inches, this lever provides solid mechanical advantage for hand-tightened fastening tasks. Installation and adjustment are performed by maintenance technicians and machine operators working on equipment requiring tool-free manual control.

This gear lever is suited for use in industrial machinery, fixtures, jigs, workholding equipment, and mechanical assemblies that require a hand-operated clamping or locking lever. The 3/8-16 stem thread is a common unified coarse thread size found in a wide range of equipment panels, gear housings, and adjustable mechanical assemblies. The taper end design allows engagement with standard taper-bored hubs and gear components. This part ships as a single unit and is typically used as a direct replacement or upgrade on existing lever positions requiring the Type C geometry.

Key Features

• Type C gear lever configuration with taper end for hub engagement
• Stainless steel shaft provides corrosion resistance in wash-down or humid environments
• Phenolic knob resists heat and chemical exposure common in industrial settings
• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread stem fits widely used standard thread bores
• 5.75 inch handle length delivers adequate torque for hand-tightening without tools
• Lightweight construction at 0.1 pounds minimizes added load on adjustable assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or retrofit lever for industrial machinery and mechanical assemblies using a Type C gear lever with a 3/8-16 threaded stem and 3/8 inch shaft diameter taper end interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers. Ensure the mating bore and thread are clean and free of debris before threading the 3/8-16 stem into position. Verify taper fit engagement before applying final hand torque. Do not use power tools to drive the lever stem, as over-torquing can damage the phenolic knob assembly or strip the threaded bore.
