Product Overview: The MB 06 Lock Washer
The MB 06 Lock Washer is a critical component in our Bearing Accessories range, designed to securely fasten lock nuts and prevent them from loosening under vibration or operational stress. With an inner diameter of 30mm, an outer diameter of 42mm, and a thickness of 1mm, the MB 06 is specifically engineered to be used with the corresponding KM 06 Lock Nut. This simple yet effective device is essential for mounting bearings on shafts, particularly when using adapter sleeves like the H 206.
As a leading supplier of industrial parts, we ensure our MB 06 lock washers meet stringent quality standards. The design features multiple external tabs that can be bent into slots on the lock nut, creating a positive mechanical lock. This prevents relative rotation between the nut and the washer, ensuring the entire assembly remains tight and secure on the shaft. Explore our full range of Lock Washers to find the precise solution for your application.
Key Features of the MB 06 Lock Washer
- Positive Locking Action: Features an inner tab that locates in the shaft's keyway and outer tabs that bend into the lock nut's slots for a secure hold.
- Prevents Loosening: Effectively counteracts the effects of vibration, shock loads, and temperature changes that can cause nuts to back off.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality spring steel for strength, resilience, and long-term reliability.
- Precision Sizing: Engineered to match the dimensions of KM 06 lock nuts and corresponding shafts for a perfect fit.
- Simple Installation: Easy to install using basic hand tools, providing a straightforward and dependable locking method.
- Corrosion Resistance: Often supplied with a protective finish to resist rust and corrosion in various industrial environments.
