Gibraltar GLH-579-G Gear Lever Arm M8x1.25 Cylindrical Knob

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GLH-579-G is a Type E gear lever arm with a cylindrical knob, designed for use in industrial machine controls, equipment panels, and mechanical assemblies where a reliable manual shift or positioning lever is required. The shaft is constructed from stainless steel with a diameter of 0.39 inches and a shaft length of 1.97 inches. The cylindrical knob is made from phenolic material, measuring 0.83 inches in diameter and 2.36 inches in length. The M8x1.25 threaded stem provides a standard metric connection with a thread length of 0.43 inches. The overall handle length measures 4.33 inches. This part is installed by machine assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial equipment service professionals.

The GLH-579-G is suited for use on industrial machinery, production equipment, and control panels that require a manually operated gear lever or positioning arm. The stainless steel shaft resists corrosion in demanding shop and light industrial environments. The phenolic knob offers good resistance to heat and chemical exposure, making this lever arm appropriate for use near machine tool stations, conveyor systems, and other equipment requiring frequent manual adjustment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or machine assemblers. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and matches the M8x1.25 thread specification before installation. Power down and de-energize all associated equipment before servicing any mechanical lever or control arm assembly. Do not overtighten the threaded stem, as phenolic and stainless components have defined engagement limits.
