KM 8 SKF lock nut

Product detailed description

The SKF KM 8 lock nut is a precision-engineered component designed for applications where reliable fixation of bearings or other rotating components on a shaft is required. This nut is made of standard steel for rolling bearings, which ensures high strength and wear resistance.

The nut has a metric thread with a diameter of M40x1.5, which means that it is suitable for shafts with an outer diameter of 40 mm and a thread pitch of 1.5 mm. The outer diameter of the nut is 58 mm, which allows it to be used in a wide range of applications. The width of the nut is 9 mm and the height is 2.5 mm, while the width of the notch is 6 mm, which provides sufficient space for a secure fit using a locking element.

The total weight of the nut is 0.078 kg, which is optimal for its function without unnecessary load on the system. The nut is marked KM 8, which is the standard marking for this type of component in the SKF range.

Lock nuts of this type are often used in combination with other locking elements, such as washers or circlips, which provide additional stability and prevent the nut from loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. These nuts are indispensable in various industrial sectors, including mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and the production of heavy equipment.

SKF, as a renowned manufacturer, guarantees high quality and reliability of its products, which is supported by many years of experience and innovation in the field of bearings and related components.
