Gibraltar GLH-562-G Type E Gear Lever Arm Cylindrical Knob

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-562-G is a Type E gear lever arm fitted with a cylindrical phenolic knob, designed for manual positioning and locking applications in industrial machinery and equipment. The arm features a stainless steel shaft measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 2.56 inches in length, paired with a phenolic knob 0.71 inches in diameter and 1.77 inches in length. The overall handle length is 4.33 inches. A 1/4-20 threaded stem with 0.35 inches of thread length provides the mounting interface. Licensed tradespeople and equipment maintenance technicians typically specify and install this type of component during machine setup or repair.

This gear lever arm is suited for use in industrial control panels, machine tool positioning systems, and mechanical equipment where a reliable hand-operated lever with a secure threaded attachment is required. Its compact dimensions make it appropriate for tight spaces where a small-diameter knob and short shaft are specified. It is sold individually as a single-piece unit.
