Product Overview: The MB 11 Lock Nut
The MB 11 lock nut is a critical component designed for securely fastening bearings and other machine elements onto tapered shafts or adapter sleeves. This precision-engineered lock nut is essential in maintaining the correct axial position of bearings, preventing them from loosening under vibration, shock, or varying operational loads. The MB 11 features standard dimensions with a Bore Diameter of 110mm, an Outer Diameter of approximately 145mm, and a Thickness of around 24mm, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
As a key part of any robust mechanical assembly, our MB 11 lock nuts are manufactured to industry-standard specifications, ensuring a reliable and tight fit. They work in conjunction with a corresponding lock washer (such as an ML 11 type) to provide an even more secure fastening solution, resisting rotational forces that could otherwise lead to component failure. Invest in the MB 11 lock nut for enhanced stability and longevity of your industrial machinery.
