Product Overview: The MB 17 Lock Nut
The MB 17 Lock Nut is a critical component in many industrial applications, primarily designed to securely fasten bearings and other rotating components onto a shaft. This robust lock nut works in conjunction with a corresponding lock washer, such as the KM 17, to prevent loosening due to vibration or dynamic loads. With an impressive 85mm bore diameter, the MB 17 ensures precise axial positioning, crucial for maintaining optimal performance and extending the service life of machinery.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our MB 17 lock nuts are manufactured to strict industry standards, providing reliable and long-lasting performance. They are commonly used with adapter sleeves like the AHX 317 or H 317, which allow for the mounting of spherical roller bearings or other bore bearings on plain shafts. The secure fit provided by this lock nut minimizes the risk of component displacement, contributing to the overall stability and safety of your mechanical systems.
Key Features of the MB 17 Lock Nut
- Secure Axial Fastening: Designed to lock bearings and other components firmly in place on a shaft, preventing axial movement.
- High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from durable materials to withstand significant loads and operating stresses.
- Vibration Resistance: When paired with a suitable lock washer, it effectively resists loosening under heavy vibration and dynamic forces.
- Precision Threading: Ensures a tight and accurate fit with corresponding shaft threads, facilitating reliable mounting.
- Easy Installation and Removal: Engineered for straightforward assembly and disassembly, simplifying maintenance procedures.
- Versatile Compatibility: Ideal for use with various bearings, especially those mounted on adapter sleeves, to provide secure seating.
