An FAG HM T series lock nut holds bearings and similar components in their axial position on a shaft. It is used where the location of the parts has to stay fixed and where adjustment during mounting matters. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series within its locking and retention range for customers in the United States and Latin America.

Reading the code helps you order the right piece. HM T references start with the letters HM, followed by a number that reflects the size and closed by the letter T. Examples include HM44T, HM48T, HM52T and HM56T, each with a different thread size. The number in the middle is not the diameter itself; it is a code tied to the dimensions of the assembly. The complete reference, as printed on the drawing or on the old part, is what identifies it without doubt.

You will find these nuts in transmission equipment, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and process machinery, across sectors such as metallurgy, food processing, cement and mining. Their job is to keep bearings and other components from moving along the shaft, since displacement of that kind can lead to premature failure or damage to the equipment.

Choosing the correct nut calls for the shaft diameter, the thread pitch and the bearing type it will lock. During mounting, the threads should be clean, lubricant applied, and the nut tightened with the proper tool at the recommended torque. Alignment and even tightening keep the assembly stable and help the bearing reach its expected service life.

Nuts from other manufacturers can sometimes be used in place of one another when dimensions and thread pitch coincide. Even so, it is worth checking compatibility with both the bearing and the shaft before installing a replacement. If you send us the part number or exact measurements, our team can point you to an equivalent.
