The NTN AWL series lock washer is an axial retention component that works with slotted nuts to secure bearings and other shaft-mounted elements. It features an outer tab and an inner tab; the inner tab bends into a nut slot, preventing loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series in multiple sizes to customers across the United States and Latin America.

The AWL series code consists of the prefix AWL, a number that corresponds to the nominal shaft or thread diameter, and the suffix X indicating the washer type. For instance, AWL24X, AWL26X, and AWL28X represent increasing sizes. That number is not arbitrary; it matches the nut-and-bearing assembly the washer is designed for. When requesting a quote, provide the complete code so we can identify the exact washer.

Typical applications include machine tools, gear reducers, pumps, fans, and power transmission equipment. Maintenance teams use these washers on spindle bearings, gearboxes, and transmission shafts where positive, removable locking is required. They also suit setups where a lock nut must be secured against vibration-induced loosening, such as in mining, cement, and steel equipment.

To select the correct washer, consider the nut's diameter and thread pitch, plus the shaft diameter. The outer tab must engage the shaft or component groove, while the inner tab bends into a nut slot. Material and surface treatment must also match the environment; for moisture or corrosive conditions, choose a version with appropriate coating. During assembly, check that the washer seats flat and that bending does not cause cracks.

Lock washers are standardized parts, so dimensional equivalents exist across brands. If you have a code from another manufacturer or an unidentified part, we can quote a compatible alternative from NTN or another supplier. Interchangeability depends on diameter, tab type, and thickness, so provide all available data. MR Industrial Accessories LLC helps you ensure the part performs its retention function reliably.
