The TIMKEN MS series lock washer is a shaft-mounted component that keeps a lock nut from backing off under vibration or rotation. It finds use in bearing assemblies where axial positioning must remain fixed, particularly with precision nut mountings. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and quotes by part number through WhatsApp or email.
How you read an MS code depends on its format. When you see a slash, as in MS30/500 or MS31/500, the digits after it tell you the assembly size. Codes without a slash, such as MS3044, MS3048, MS3052, MS3056, MS3060 and MS3064, use the complete number to identify the washer. Match that code to your nut type and shaft diameter before ordering. If anything is unclear, send the code and a description of the mounting.
These washers appear in equipment where bearings run under load and vibration: conveyors, mills, pumps, gearboxes, road and agricultural machinery, and any shaft with a spherical roller bearing that needs dependable axial fixing. Maintenance teams in cement, food and aggregate plants request them regularly when a bearing replacement requires the nut to be locked again.
Selection depends on the nut-washer pairing. The inner tab must sit in the shaft groove, and the outer tab bends over one nut face. Confirm the seat is clean and free of burrs, and check that the tab has not been fatigued from a previous installation. Proper lubrication and bearing alignment also affect whether the fixing performs without lateral stress.
Lock washers interchange between manufacturers by dimensions and nut type, not by commercial code. The same size can carry different nomenclatures from brand to brand. What matters is keeping the original equipment combination or substituting one with identical geometry. If you cannot locate the reference, message us on WhatsApp with the code or model and we will identify a compatible alternative.
MR Industrial Accessories LLC carries the TIMKEN lock washer line along with other bearing fastening components. Send the MS code shown on your drawing or nut via WhatsApp, and we will prepare a quote.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the correct MS lock washer for my mounting?
- Start with the code on the drawing or the nut. That lets us cross-reference the size and nut type. If you do not have it, send a photo of the mounting and the shaft dimensions on WhatsApp and we will help.
- Is it acceptable to reuse a lock washer?
- Reusing one is not advised. Bending the tab fatigues the material and reduces its elasticity. Replacing it during disassembly helps ensure the nut stays secured and does not loosen with vibration.
- How does an MS washer differ from a lock nut?
- They work as a pair. The nut adjusts the bearing against the shaft, and the washer keeps that nut from turning. They mount together and must be the same size. If you need both, send the code and we will quote the assembly.
