Gibraltar GLH-575-G Type E Gear Lever Arm M6x1 Stem

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-575-G is a Type E gear lever arm with a cylindrical phenolic knob, designed for precise manual positioning and control adjustments on industrial machinery and equipment. The stainless steel shaft measures 0.32 inches in diameter and 1.38 inches in length, with an M6x1 threaded stem offering a 0.35-inch thread engagement length. The phenolic knob is 0.71 inches in diameter and 1.77 inches in length, providing a secure, ergonomic grip. The overall handle length is 3.15 inches. This lever arm is typically installed by machine operators, maintenance technicians, or equipment assemblers working on lathes, CNC fixtures, presses, or similar industrial machinery.

This gear lever arm suits applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant manual adjustment handle is required. The stainless steel shaft resists rust and wear in light industrial or wash-down environments. The phenolic knob holds up to moderate heat and chemical exposure common in manufacturing settings. It is a direct-fit replacement or upgrade for M6x1-threaded lever arm positions on equipment requiring a Type E cylindrical knob configuration. Typical uses include feed rate selectors, gear change levers, and position lock handles on production machinery.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial machinery and equipment with M6x1-threaded lever arm positions requiring a Type E cylindrical knob configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or equipment assemblers. Before installing or removing the lever arm, de-energize and lock out the machine per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Thread the M6x1 stem into the equipment mounting point by hand first to confirm thread engagement before tightening. Do not over-torque the stem, as phenolic knob components can crack under excessive clamping force.
