Product Overview: The KM 19 Precision Lock Nut
The KM 19 lock nut is a vital precision component designed to securely fix bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical shaft or an adapter sleeve. As an essential part of a bearing assembly, this lock nut, with its precise dimensions of 95mm bore diameter, 130mm outer diameter, and 26mm thickness, ensures that rotational components remain firmly in place, even under demanding operational conditions. It works in conjunction with a corresponding MB series lock washer, which prevents the nut from loosening due to vibration or dynamic loads.
Our KM 19 lock nuts are manufactured to exacting industry standards, providing superior performance and reliability for a wide range of industrial applications. They are indispensable for maintaining the axial position of bearings, critical for the smooth and efficient operation of machinery. Explore our comprehensive selection of lock nuts and adapter sleeves to ensure the integrity and longevity of your bearing arrangements.
