Product Overview: The MB 04 Lock Washer
The MB 04 is a precision-engineered lock washer, an essential component in our Bearing Accessories collection. Designed with a bore diameter of 20mm and an outer diameter of 30mm, this washer is specifically made to work in tandem with a KM 04 Lock Nut. Its primary function is to securely fasten bearings and other components onto a shaft, preventing them from loosening due to vibration or operational torque. The MB 04 features an inner tab that fits into a shaft's keyway and multiple outer tabs that are bent into the slots of the corresponding lock nut, creating a simple yet highly effective mechanical lock.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our MB 04 lock washers meet stringent quality standards for reliable and long-lasting performance. This component is crucial for mounting bearings on adapter sleeves like the H 204, providing stability in a wide array of industrial machinery.
