The BGL KMFE lock nut holds adapter sleeves, bearings, gears and pulleys firmly on a shaft. Its nodular cast iron body lets you tighten with less effort and lowers the chance of seizing when you take it apart. An MB washer or MS safety lock keeps it in place. Choose carbon steel or stainless steel. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies it across the USA and Latin America.

Read the code this way: KMFE plus a number that tells you the thread and the sleeve size it fits. Small sizes run KMFE4 through KMFE7; larger ones go KMFE8 through KMFE11. That suffix is not random, so always give the full code when you ask for a quote.

You will find these nuts in food processing, cement, mining, oil and aggregate plants, as well as in power transmission equipment, conveyors, mills and mixers. Maintenance teams use them wherever a bearing or pulley must stay put but still come off without damaging the shaft.

Selection comes down to three things: the shaft or sleeve thread diameter and pitch, and whether you lock with an MB washer or an MS safety lock. Nodular cast iron needs less torque to tighten and releases more easily. During mounting, check alignment and make sure the lock seats correctly. A little lubricant on the thread gives you even tightening. In corrosive settings, go with the stainless steel version.

KMFE nuts swap with other brands built to the same international dimensions. If you only have another maker's code or a part you cannot identify, send us the details and we will point you to the equivalent. Thread and pitch are what matter most for a replacement to work.
