Gibraltar GLH-558-G Type C Gear Lever Taper End

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-558-G is a Type C gear lever with a taper end, designed for use in mechanical positioning and clamping applications. The lever features a stainless steel shaft measuring 0.47 inches in diameter and 6.3 inches in shaft length, paired with a phenolic knob that is 1.38 inches in diameter and 2.09 inches in knob length. The M12x1.75 stem thread with a 0.63 inch thread length provides secure engagement, while the overall handle length of 8.39 inches delivers the leverage needed for efficient manual adjustment. Maintenance technicians and machine operators working with industrial equipment typically install and service this type of lever.

This gear lever is suited for industrial machinery, machine tools, and equipment requiring manual adjustment or locking mechanisms. The taper end design allows for positive engagement in typical lever-operated assemblies. With a stainless steel shaft and phenolic knob construction, this lever holds up in environments where corrosion resistance and thermal stability are priorities. It is sold individually and is well suited for both OEM assembly and field replacement applications.
