Product Overview: The KM 29 Lock Nut
The KM 29 is a high-precision lock nut, an essential component from our Lock Nut series of Bearing Accessories. Engineered with an M145x2 thread, this nut is designed to securely locate and lock bearings onto a shaft or adapter sleeve, preventing axial movement and maintaining precise positioning. Its robust design ensures that bearings remain fixed, even in applications with high rotational speeds or significant vibration.
Used in conjunction with a corresponding MB 29 lock washer, the KM 29 provides a reliable and reusable fastening solution. The nut features four equally spaced slots on its outer circumference, allowing for easy tightening and loosening with a hook or impact spanner. As a key supplier of industrial components, we ensure our KM 29 lock nuts meet stringent industry standards for dimensional accuracy and performance, making them a trusted choice for a wide range of mechanical assemblies.
