Lock nuts in the SKF KMK line hold bearings and similar components in place on threaded shafts. They allow controlled adjustment, which simplifies putting assemblies together and taking them apart. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies these lock nuts to industrial customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.
The code works in a straightforward way: KMK followed by a number that identifies the size. That gives you KMK 10, KMK 11, KMK 12, KMK 13, KMK 14, KMK 15, KMK 16 and KMK 17 as distinct sizes. When you contact us, that full reference is what we need to match your requirement.
You will find these nuts in power transmission equipment, pumps, fans, conveyors and general machinery, wherever a bearing or another part has to be locked onto a shaft. Industries such as metalworking, food processing, mining and petrochemicals rely on them to keep assemblies tight and prevent shifting.
Choosing the correct KMK nut comes down to two things: the thread diameter and pitch of the shaft, and the size of the bearing being secured. At installation, verify alignment, use the right tools and apply the specified torque. Cleaning the contact surfaces and lubricating the thread help you achieve a solid fit and support the life of the assembly.
Lock nuts from one manufacturer to another can differ in dimensions and thread form, so interchangeability is not automatic. Before substituting a part, compare the technical data and confirm it suits both the shaft and the bearing. Our team can review your application and point you to a compatible option.
