KMT 18

description

• This lock nut design permits bearings and other components to be simply and efficiently located axially on shafts.Originally developed for use with precision bearings, their dimensions were chosen accordingly.

applications

• For applications where simple assembly, reliable locking, and high precision are all required
• Intended for applications where space is limited

features

• Special design feature: three brass locking pins equally spaced around circumference
• Mounting is easy
• arrangement is simple
• Additional locking washers or slots in shaft not needed
• Adjustable
• Retains high precision irrespective of frequency with which they are mounted and dismounted
• Smooth, cylindrical outside surface
• Designed as slotted nuts
• Smaller sizes are provided with two diametrically opposed flats to take spanners

caution

• When dismounting, the locking pins will still firmly engage the shaft thread even after the grub screws have been loosened. Light blows with a rubber hammer to the nut in the vicinity of the grub screws will loosen the pins. The nuts can then easily be
