A lock nut from the TIMKEN RN line keeps bearings and other components firmly in place on threaded shafts, preventing axial movement in assemblies that demand precision. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies these axial fasteners to industrial maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and several Latin American countries.

The number after the hyphen in the RN designation tells you the nominal thread or shaft size the nut fits. Small sizes include RN-10, RN-11 and RN-12, while RN-34, RN-36, RN-38, RN-56 and RN-60 cover the larger end. Reading the code this way makes it easier to match the nut to the shaft diameter and the bearing it will secure.

These lock nuts appear in demanding sectors such as mining, cement, steelmaking, paper and pulp, and food production. They are found on rotating equipment including mills, crushers, conveyor belts, pumps and fans, where bearings need positive securing against axial and radial loads. Maintenance workshops and plant teams rely on them during bearing mounting and dismounting.

Selecting the right nut starts with confirming the shaft thread diameter and pitch, plus the bearing type being secured. Before mounting, clean the threads, apply the tightening torque specified by the manufacturer and use suitable tools to avoid damage. A lock washer or a second nut may be added in some setups for lasting fastening, and lubricating the thread eases adjustment and helps prevent premature wear.

Lock nuts from different brands can vary in dimensions and thread details, so interchangeability is never automatic. Even when a TIMKEN RN nut appears to match another make, confirm the exact dimensions and thread pitch against the shaft and bearing. Our team can point you to a suitable equivalent for your application.
