A TIMKEN MBL lock washer keeps a lock nut from backing off and holds bearings and other shaft-mounted parts in position. A tab on the washer bends into a groove on the shaft or nut, so the assembly stays put under vibration or axial load. This is a small part, but it decides whether the whole fit stays tight.

The letters MBL mark the family. The digits after them are the size code of the nut the washer fits, not the shaft size, so MBL24, MBL26 and MBL28 step up through the range. Match the washer to both the bearing and the nut, and if the code is unclear, send it to us and we will read it with you.

You will find these washers on machine tools, centrifugal pumps, conveyors, mills and speed reducers, as well as in food plants and metalworking shops. Wherever bearings see axial load or constant vibration, the lock nut has to stay where it was set, and the bent tab is what keeps it there over time.

Selection comes down to three checks: shaft diameter, lock nut type and the space around the nut. The tab should drop into the shaft groove without being forced, and the bore has to match the nut thread. At assembly, seat the washer flat, bend the tab with the right tool and avoid nicking the metal. Clean lubrication and good alignment help the whole assembly last.

TIMKEN MBL washers interchange with other brands built to the same dimensional standard. For a replacement, compare bore, outside diameter, thickness and tab position rather than the bore alone, since tooth count and tab shape can differ. Our team can point you to a matching option.
