The SKF KMFE lock nut is a shaft fastening element that holds bearings and related components in place. It suits assemblies where the fit has to stay firm yet remain adjustable. We supply this line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.

Reading the code is straightforward. The KMFE prefix comes first, then a number that sets the size, and in certain cases a trailing B, as in KMFE 11 B. The number in the middle tells you which nut size you are looking at, while the closing letter marks a variant inside the same family. The safest way to order is to copy the complete designation from the drawing or from the part being replaced.

You will find these nuts on gearboxes, pumps, fans, conveyors and process machinery, wherever a bearing has to be positioned axially on a shaft. Food, cement, steel and oil and gas operations rely on them for that job, since correct axial setting has a direct effect on how long the assembly lasts. They also come into play during repair work, when a damaged nut is swapped out or a new shaft goes together.

Before ordering, confirm the shaft thread diameter and pitch, and check that the seating area is clean and free of burrs. At mounting time, verify bearing alignment and tighten to the torque value the equipment manufacturer specifies. How well the assembly is lubricated, and the state of the supporting surfaces, both influence the final fit. A damaged shaft thread should be repaired first, otherwise the nut may seat incorrectly.

Replacements often carry equivalent part numbers from other manufacturers. Give us the original part number or a sample and we will point you to a compatible option among the brands we supply. Because interchangeability hinges on thread and dimensions, appearance alone is not enough, so send the technical data and we will confirm.
