Seal the deal between your rotating component and a machine shaft using this bearing assembly from SKF. It's a lock nut designed to firmly locate a bearing on a shaft, preventing it from slipping out of place. There are four equally spaced slots around the circumference that let you slip in a spanner to tighten it. To fully round out your bearing assembly, secure this nut with a lock washer. For easy compatibility, it works with lock washers from the MB and MBL range (such as 237-2231).

• Axial static load-carrying capacity of 19.6kN to withstand heavy loads without deforming
• Threaded design for convenient installation
• Light weight of 14g for minimal strain on the shaft

• Printing presses
• Food production and packaging
• Transmission systems

A lock washer is used to bolt the lock nut into position. Its split design includes tabs that press securely into the slots on the outside of the nut.

Yes, you can reuse this lock nut, so it's a sustainable choice. It's important to note that you must use a new lock washer when re-installing it.
