Product Overview: The MB 16 Lock Nut
The MB 16 Lock Nut is a high-precision fastening component designed to securely position bearings and other mechanical parts onto tapered shafts or adapter sleeves. With a precise bore diameter of 80mm, an outer diameter of 110mm, and a thickness of 14mm, this lock nut is engineered for robust and reliable performance in demanding industrial applications. It plays a critical role in preventing the axial displacement of components, ensuring that bearings maintain their correct position and achieve optimal operational longevity. The MB 16 is typically installed in conjunction with a corresponding KM 16 Lock Washer, which is essential for locking the nut in place and counteracting loosening caused by vibrations or dynamic loads. Our comprehensive selection of Lock Nuts provides dependable solutions for a wide array of industrial fastening requirements, crafted to industry-standard specifications for consistent quality and performance.
