The BGL KML lock nut secures bearings, gears, and pulleys onto shafts when an adapter sleeve is used. It works with an MB lock washer or MS lock to hold the assembly in place. The nut is made of nodular cast iron, which helps with tightening and makes removal less likely to seize. Depending on the application, KML nuts are available in carbon steel or stainless steel.
Reading the KML code is straightforward: the number at the end matches the shaft or sleeve size. KML24, KML26, KML28, and KML30 are examples of increasing sizes. Each part number corresponds to a specific sleeve size and thread. To pick the right nut, first confirm the shaft diameter and the sleeve you plan to use.
These lock nuts appear in many industrial settings, from food and chemical plants to metalworking shops, transport equipment, and agricultural machinery. They are common where bearings are mounted on adapter sleeves, such as in conveyor belts, mills, pumps, and fans. Their job is to hold the axial position of the component and keep the assembly tight while it runs.
During installation, clean the threads and apply the torque specified for the size. Nodular cast iron allows tightening with less effort and lowers the chance of the nut seizing when it is later removed. Always use an MB lock washer or MS lock to secure the nut. Lubricating the threads and aligning the assembly help prevent damage and make future maintenance easier.
KML nuts can be interchanged with other brands that use the same dimensional standards. If you have a part number from another manufacturer or an unmarked part, MR Industrial Accessories can identify a compatible equivalent. The KML series comes in carbon steel or stainless steel, so it can suit corrosive or demanding environments.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I select the correct KML nut for my sleeve?
- Identify the shaft diameter and the sleeve you will use. The number in the KML part number corresponds to that size. If you are unsure, send the details on WhatsApp and we will confirm the exact reference.
- When should I choose stainless steel instead of nodular cast iron?
- Nodular cast iron is strong and simplifies tightening and removal. Stainless steel is suitable for corrosive environments or where more oxidation resistance is needed. Both materials are available depending on the application.
- Is the lock washer included with the KML nut?
- The nut is supplied on its own. Installation requires an MB lock washer or an MS lock, which we can also quote. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will provide the matching reference.
