Lock nuts are used to locate bearings on a shaft. In addition, they can be used to mount bearings with a tapered bore on tapered shaft seats and adapter sleeves, and to dismount bearings from withdrawal sleeves. Lock nuts are also frequently used to secure gears, pulleys and other machine components.
Lock nuts must be secured to prevent unintentional loosening.
SKF lock nuts provide various methods for securing the nut on the shaft. The lock nuts listed here are part of the basic SKF range. Lock nuts with other locking methods can be supplied on request.
