Lock nuts with integral locking device

These lock nuts of the KMK design (fig 1) have an integral locking device, which takes the form of a pressure plate, the surface of which has a threaded profile. The pressure plate is pressed against the shaft thread by a grub screw, thus locking the nut in position (fig 2).

Mounting and dismounting are simple and the axial location effective and reliable. Neither additional locking washer nor keyway in the shaft is required. The KMK nuts can be re-used.

The KMK nuts have slots in the outside diameter so that they can be tightened using a hook spanner. A hexagonal wrench is needed to tighten the grub screw. Appropriate sizes of spanner and key are provided in the product table. Tighten the grub screw, until the recommended tightening torque quoted in the product table is obtained.
