The TIMKEN MB lock washer is a shaft-mounted locking element that keeps bearings and other components from moving axially. It pairs with a lock nut, using an inner and outer tab to create a mechanical stop. Typical installations include gearboxes, pumps and process machinery where mounting accuracy and safety matter. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this washer to customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.
In the MB series, the number alone identifies the size. No extra suffixes are used. To pick the right washer, match the code to the shaft diameter and the bearing that needs securing, then confirm the assembly dimensions.
These washers show up in food processing, petrochemical, steel and mining operations, where bearings face loads and vibration. They also appear in power transmission setups such as gearboxes and couplings, and in machine tools. Plant maintenance teams and repair shops rely on them when replacing imported components.
During installation, align the inner tab with the shaft groove and bend the outer tab over one face of the lock nut. That creates the mechanical lock. Keep contact surfaces clean and lubricate the assembly to avoid premature wear. If the shaft has burrs or wear, repair it before fitting the washer.
Because lock washers are standardized, equivalents from other brands may exist. The bore diameter, thickness and tab location must match the original bearing and nut. For a quote, send the full part number plus shaft and bearing dimensions if available. We can then suggest a compatible alternative or source the exact part.
