Product Overview: The 05 (KM 05) Lock Nut
The 05 (KM 05) Lock Nut is a precision-engineered fastening component, essential for securely mounting bearings and other mechanical parts onto a 25mm shaft. With a standard M25x1.5 thread, this lock nut is a fundamental part of our Bearing Accessories collection. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a corresponding MB 05 lock washer to prevent loosening caused by vibration and operational torque. Its primary function is to provide reliable axial location and secure the inner ring of a bearing against a shaft shoulder or sleeve.
As a leading supplier of industrial parts, we provide high-quality lock nuts manufactured to strict industry standards. The 05 (KM 05) ensures that bearings mounted on adapter sleeves or directly on a shaft remain firmly in place, which is critical for the longevity and performance of the entire assembly.

Key Features of the 05 Lock Nut
- Precision Machined Threads: Features a standard M25x1.5 thread for a secure and accurate fit on shafts and adapter sleeves.
- Multiple Locking Slots: Equipped with four equally spaced slots on its circumference, allowing for fine adjustment and secure locking with a spanner wrench and lock washer.
- Durable Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel to withstand high tightening forces and resist wear and deformation.
- Reusable Design: Can be removed and re-tightened multiple times without significant loss of performance, making it ideal for maintenance.
- Simple and Effective Locking: When paired with an MB 05 lock washer, it creates a simple yet highly effective locking mechanism that prevents unintended loosening.
- Corrosion Resistance: Typically treated with a protective finish to resist corrosion in various industrial environments.
Common Applications
- Bearing Mounting: Widely used for securing bearings onto adapter sleeves (H 205, H 305) or withdrawal sleeves.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Ensures gears remain axially fixed on their shafts, maintaining proper mesh and alignment.
- Conveyor Systems: Secures pulleys and rollers, preventing them from shifting along the shaft during operation.
- Electric Motors and Pumps: Used to hold bearings and other rotating components in place on motor shafts and pump impellers.
- Agricultural Machinery: Provides reliable fastening in equipment such as combines, balers, and tillers where vibration is common.
- Automotive Drivetrains: Applied in various shaft assemblies within transmissions and axle systems.
Benefits of Using the 05 Lock Nut
- Enhanced Assembly Reliability: Provides a secure and dependable method for fastening components, reducing the risk of failure due to loosening.
- Prevents Axial Movement: Effectively locks components in their designated axial position, ensuring consistent machine performance.
- Simplified Installation and Removal: Can be easily installed, adjusted, and removed using standard spanner wrenches, simplifying maintenance and assembly processes.
- Extended Component Life: By maintaining the correct preload and position of bearings, it helps prevent premature wear and extend the service life of the machinery.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Offers an economical and proven method for securing rotating parts compared to more complex fastening systems.
- Increased Operational Safety: Prevents critical components from coming loose, which could lead to catastrophic equipment failure and safety hazards.
