Product Overview: The KM 22 Lock Nut
The KM 22 lock nut is a critical component in securing bearings onto a shaft, primarily used in conjunction with adapter sleeves and a corresponding lock washer. Designed for robust and precise axial positioning, the KM 22 ensures that bearings, particularly spherical roller bearings and self-aligning ball bearings mounted on tapered seats of shafts or adapter sleeves, remain firmly in place, preventing axial movement and ensuring optimal performance. With an internal diameter (Bore Diameter) of 110 mm, an external diameter (Outer Diameter) of 140 mm, and a Thickness of 13 mm, the KM 22 is manufactured to industry-standard specifications, guaranteeing reliable and long-lasting operation in various industrial applications. Our range of lock nuts ensures smooth assembly and disassembly, contributing to efficient machinery maintenance and operational stability.
As a specialist in industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we understand the importance of secure mounting. The KM 22 lock nut offers a dependable solution for applications requiring high stability and precision, protecting your valuable machinery from potential damage due to loose components.
