About lock nuts

A bearing system consists of more than just
bearings. Associated components like the
shaft, housings and locking devices are integral parts of the overall system. The lubricant and sealing elements also play a critical
role.
One frequently overlooked component in
a bearing system is the locking device or lock
nut that is used to locate bearings and other
components on the shaft. Figure 1 shows a
typical bearing system. In this example, the
lock nut serves two functions.
1 Hold the side face of the spherical roller
bearing inner ring against its abutment
on the shaft
2 Support axial loads.
Fig. 1
In addition to locating bearings and other

components onto shafts, lock nuts can be
used to mount bearings on tapered shaft
seats and adapter sleeves and dismount
bearings from withdrawal sleeves. Lock nuts
are also frequently used to secure gears,
belt pulleys and other machine components.
SKF lock nuts fall into two basic categories: Industrial and precision.
Designs and variants

SKF lock nuts provide a variety of ways to
secure the nut onto a shaft. The lock nuts
listed in this catalogue constitute the basic
SKF assortment. Lock nuts with other locking
methods can be supplied on request. For
additional information, contact the SKF
application engineering service.
SKF manufactures a wide assortment of

lock nuts and locking methods. The type you
choose depends on the application and its
operating conditions. When choosing or
replacing a lock nut, there are a number of
factors that should be taken into
consideration.
Factors include but are not limited to:
Space axial and radial
Shaft rotation one or both directions
Axial loads
Dynamic behaviour of the application
Cost and downtime of machining keyways
in shafts vs other locking methods
Ease and frequency of assembly and
disassembly

Precision lock nuts

Industrial lock nuts with lock washers are
not suitable for precision bearing applications because of the relatively wide manufacturing tolerances of the thread and abutment surfaces. As a result, SKF has
developed a full line of precision lock nuts
that are manufactured within very tight tolerances. These simple to mount devices are
used to locate bearings and other components accurately and efficiently on a shaft.
They meet the requirements of precision
applications like machine tools, both technically and economically.
Designs
All SKF precision lock nuts use friction between the mating thread flanks of the spindle shaft and lock nut to hold them in place.
To apply this friction, SKF manufactures two
different precision lock nut designs: those
with locking pins and those with axial locking
screws.

Precision lock nuts
KMT and KMTA

precision lock nuts
with locking pins
The locking principle
KMT and KMTA series precision lock nuts
have three locking pins equally spaced
around their circumference ( fig. 1 and 2)
that can be tightened with grub screws to
lock the nut onto the shaft. The end face of
each pin is machined to match the shaft
thread. The holes for the locking pins and grub
screws are drilled with their axis parallel to
the loaded flank of the shaft thread. The
locking screws, when tightened to the recommended torque, provide sufficient friction
between the ends of the pins and the unloaded thread flanks to prevent the nut from
loosening under normal operating conditions. Because the locking pins are tightened
against the unloaded flank of the shaft
thread, they are not subjected to any application loads imposed on the nut.
About KMT and KMTA

lock nuts
KMT and KMTA lock nuts are intended for
applications where high precision, simple
assembly and reliable locking are required*.
The three equally-spaced locking pins enable
these lock nuts to be accurately positioned at
right angles to the shaft. However, they can
also be adjusted to compensate for slight
angular deviations of adjacent components.
KMT lock nuts are available for shaft
diameters ranging from 10 to 420 mm
(thread M 10 to Tr 420). KMTA lock nuts are
available for shaft diameters ranging from
25 to 200 mm (thread M 25 to M 200).
KMTA lock nuts have a cylindrical outside
surface and, for some sizes, a different
thread pitch than KMT lock nuts. They are
intended primarily for applications where
space is limited and the cylindrical outside
surface can be used as an element of a gaptype seal.
* IMPORTANT: KMT and KMTA lock nuts should
not be used on shafts with keyways in the

thread or adapter sleeves. Damage to the locking
pins can result if they align with either.

KMT and KMTA lock nuts generally conform
to ISO. For additional information, see
table 1 on page 17 and product tables
starting on page 18.
Adjustable to minimise axial run-out

By adjusting the three locking screws, KMT and
KMTA lock nuts can be very accurately aligned at
right angles to the shaft or to compensate for
slight angular deviation of adjacent components.
KMT and KMTA precision lock nuts
Installation and removal

KMT precision lock nuts have slots around
their circumference to accommodate a hook
or impact spanner ( fig. 1). The designations of the appropriate spanners are listed
in the product tables ( page 18).
For more information about the appropriate spanner, see section Tools on page 66.
In addition to the slots, KMT lock nuts with a
thread 75 mm (size 15) have two opposed
flats to accommodate a spanner. KMT lock
nuts with a thread 80 mm (size 16) have
six slots and no flats.
KMTA precision lock nuts have holes
around their circumference and in one side
face ( fig. 2). They can be tightened with
a pin wrench or a pin type face spanner.
Appropriate spanners in accordance with
DIN 1810 are listed in the product tables
( page 20).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Installation
1 With the bearing in position, screw the
lock nut into place.
2 Tighten the nut with a hook or impact
spanner making sure to not over tighten
it.
3 Tighten the grub screws carefully until the
locking pins engage the shaft thread.
4 Tighten the grub screws alternately with
a torque wrench until the recommended
torque value is achieved ( product
tables, page 20).
Adjustment
KMT and KMTA lock nuts are adjustable. The
three equally-spaced locking pins enable
these lock nuts to be accurately positioned
at right angles to the shaft. However, they
can also be adjusted to compensate for
slight angular deviations of adjacent components. Adjustments can be made using the
following procedure ( fig. 3, page 16):
15
Precision lock nuts
Fig. 3
1 Loosen the grub screw(s) at the position

showing the greatest deviation.
2 Tighten the remaining screw(s) equally.
3 Retighten the screw(s) that were
loosened.
4 Check that the alignment of the nut, relative to the shaft, is currently as required.
5 Repeat the procedure if necessary.
Retighten grub screw
Retighten grub screws
Removal
When removing KMT and KMTA lock nuts,
the locking pins can still engage the shaft
thread even after the grub screws have
been loosened. Using a rubber hammer, tap
the nut lightly in the vicinity of the pins to
loosen them.
Note: Please note that KMT and KMTA precision lock nuts are not intended for bearing
drive-up.

Loosening torque
KMT and KMTA lock nuts are locked on the shaft (sleeve) by friction. The friction, and therefore the
loosening torque, varies as a result of the accuracy of the tightening torque of the grub screw, the
surface finish of the shaft thread, the amount of lubricant on the thread, etc. KMT and KMTA lock nuts
should be properly mounted to threads that are dry or only have a minimum amount of lubricant on
them.
For additional information about loosening torques, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Note
Providing that they are properly mounted to a dry or minimally lubricated thread, experience has
shown that SKF KMT and KMTA lock nuts have sufficient locking for typical precision and general
rolling bearing applications.

Precision lock nuts
KMD precision lock

nuts with axial locking
screws
Precision lock nuts in the KMD series are
locked with axial locking screws. The front of
the lock nut locates the component on the
shaft. The rear is tightened against the unloaded flank of the shaft thread by axial
locking screws creating sufficient friction to
prevent the lock nut from loosening under
normal operating conditions ( fig. 4).
About KMD lock nuts

KMD lock nuts were designed specifically for
screw compressors but can be used in other
applications where high precision, simple
assembly and reliable locking are required.
Once the four locking screws are tightened,
the lock nut will be accurately positioned at
right angles to the shaft thread. The locking
screws, when tightened to the recommended tightening torque, preload the lock nut
and shaft threads and generate sufficient
friction to prevent the nut from loosening
under normal operating conditions. The
locking screws do not carry any part of the
supported load in service. KMD lock nuts are
available for shaft diameters ranging from
20 to 105 mm (thread M 20 to M 105).

For additional information, see table 2 on
page 24.
Fig. 4
KMD precision lock nuts
Installation and removal of

KMD precision lock nuts
KMD precision lock nuts have slots around
their circumference to accommodate a hook
spanner ( fig. 5). The designations of the
appropriate spanners are listed in the product tables ( page 25). For more information about the appropriate spanner, see section Tools on page 66. KMD precision lock
nuts are designed for frequent installation
and removal provided they are not
damaged.
Note: KMD precision lock nuts should not
be used to drive a bearing up onto a tapered
seat.
KMD lock nuts are supplied with a protector between the front and rear part of the
lock nut ( fig. 6). The axial locking screws
are finger tight to keep the protector in
place. To install the lock nut:
1 Loosen the locking screws (1) half a turn.
Do not remove them.
2 Remove the protector (2) between the
two parts of the lock nut.
3 Hold the front and rear parts together
and screw the lock nut onto the shaft.
When the rear part grabs onto the shaft
thread, a gap occurs between the two
parts of approximately:
0,6 mm for KMD 4 lock nuts
1,0 mm for KMD 5 to KMD 15 lock nuts
1,2 mm for KMD 16 to KMD 21 lock
nuts
The remaining steps depend on whether

adjustment to an exact position on the shaft
is required.
When precise positioning is not required
4 Screw the lock nut to its final position on
the shaft thread, engaging the spanner in
the slots on the front part of the nut.
5 Tighten the locking screws alternately in a
criss-cross pattern until the recommended
torque value is obtained ( product
tables, page 25). Screw sizes are listed in
the product tables.
When precise positioning is required
4 Screw the lock nut to its approximate
position on the shaft thread, using a
spanner to engage the slots on the front
part of the nut.
criss-cross pattern to half the recommended torque value ( product tables,
page 25). Screw sizes are listed in the
product tables.
6 Adjust the nut to its final position on the
shaft (placing the spanner in the slots on
the front part of the nut).
criss-cross pattern to the full recommended torque value ( product tables,
page 25).
Removal
Loosen the locking screws and unscrew the
nut from the shaft.

Loosening torque
KMD lock nuts are locked on the shaft by friction. The friction, and therefore the loosening torque, varies as
a result of the accuracy of the tightening torque of the axial locking screws, the surface finish of the shaft
(sleeve) thread, the amount of lubricant on the thread, etc. The KMD lock nuts should be properly mounted
to threads that are dry or only have a minimum amount of lubricant on them.
For additional information about loosening torques, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Note
Providing that they are properly mounted to a dry or minimally lubricated thread, SKF KMD lock nuts have
sufficient locking for precision and general rolling bearing applications.

SKF lock nuts are used to locate bearings
and other components onto a shaft or
adapter sleeve. They are also used to mount
bearings on tapered shaft seats and dismount bearings from withdrawal sleeves.
Lock nuts must be secured to prevent unintentional loosening. This is done either by a
locking device that engages a keyway in the
shaft thread, or by a locking mechanism integrated in the nut.
Lock nuts with an integrated locking
mechanism reduce the cost of the shaft as
no keyway is required. Installation is also
quicker and easier because no separate
locking device is necessary. All SKF industrial
lock nuts have slots around their circumference to accommodate a hook or impact
spanner. The designations of the appropriate spanners are listed in the product tables.
For additional information about spanners,
see the section Tools on page 66.

insert
KMK series lock nuts ( fig. 1) have a
threaded steel insert in their bore, to lock
the nut in place on the shaft ( fig. 2). The
threads on the insert match the lock nut
threads. The insert acts as a pressure plate
when the grub (set) screw, which runs
through the body of the lock nut, is
tightened.

About KMK lock nuts

KMK lock nuts are intended to locate radial
bearings in less demanding applications.
These lock nuts should not be used on
shafts or adapter sleeves with a keyway.
Damage to the locking device is likely, if it
aligns with a keyway. KMK lock nuts can be
reused provided they are not damaged.
KMK lock nuts are available for shaft
threads ranging from 10 to 100 mm.
Ordering information
KMK series lock nuts generally conform to

ISO. For additional information, see table 1
on page 30 and product tables ( page 31).
KMK lock nuts are ordered as a single unit.

KMFE metric lock nuts

with a locking screw
KMFE series lock nuts ( fig. 5) use an
integral grub (set) screw to lock the nut in
place ( fig. 6). When the grub screw is
tightened, it causes the nut thread to deform and press against the shaft or sleeve
thread. The resulting friction is sufficient to
lock the nut in place. When the grub screw is
loosened, the nut thread will return to its
original shape
About KMFE lock nuts

KMFE lock nuts are designed to locate CARB
toroidal roller bearings, sealed spherical
roller bearings and sealed self-aligning ball
bearings axially on a shaft.
These lock nuts have four equally spaced
slots around their circumference to accommodate a hook spanner and are intended for
applications where simple assembly and reliable locking are required. KMFE lock nuts
are available for shaft diameters ranging
from 20 to 200 mm (thread M 20 to M
200).
KMFE lock nuts should not be used on
shafts with a keyway and only on special
adapter sleeves with a narrow slot. Damage
to the nut is likely if the grub screw aligns
with a keyway or wide slot.
KMFE lock nuts can be reused, provided

KMFE metric lock nuts

KMFE lock nuts are easy to install. Each nut
is provided with four equally spaced slots
around its circumference to accommodate a
hook spanner ( fig. 5). Appropriate spanner sizes are listed in the product tables
( page 35). For more information about
the appropriate spanner, see section Tools
on page 66.
KMFE lock nuts can be reused, provided

bearing is obtained.
4 Tighten the grub (set) screw ( fig. 7)
to the torque value listed in the product
tables ( page 35).
Mounting bearings on cylindrical seats
2 Tighten the nut against the bearing with a
hook spanner, making sure to not over

Loosening torque
SKF KMFE series lock nuts are locked on the shaft by friction. The friction, and therefore the loosening
torque, varies as a result of the accuracy of the tightening torque of the grub (set) screw, the surface
finish of the shaft (sleeve) thread, the amount of lubricant on the thread, etc. The lock nuts should be
properly mounted to threads that are dry or only have a minimum amount of lubricant on them.
Note
Sufficient locking for intended bearing applications as detailed on page 32.

retained with a lock
washer
Lock washers ( fig. 8) are simple, stable
and reliable fastening elements that engage
a keyway in a shaft thread or adapter sleeve.
The washer locks the nut in position when
one of the washer tabs is bent into one of
the slots on the nut ( fig. 9).
About KM, KML, HMT

metric lock nuts
KM and KML lock nuts have metric threads
( fig. 10) and are designed to be used
with lock washers. They have four equally
spaced slots located around their circumference to accommodate a hook or impact
spanner ( fig. 11). These lock nuts are
also referred to as shaft or withdrawal nuts.
KML lock nuts have a lower sectional
height than KM lock nuts. Lock nuts in the
KM and KML series are available for shaft
(thread M 10 to M 200). Lock nuts can be
locked with either the MB lock washer listed
in the lock nut product tables ( page 40)
or with a stronger, MB .. A lock washer
listed in the lock washer product tables
( page 42).
HM .. T lock nuts, have metric trapezoidal
threads ( fig. 10). For some sizes no lock
washer is available because these nuts are
intended to dismount bearings with a tapered bore from a withdrawal sleeve. These
lock nuts are also referred to as removal
nuts.
HM ..T lock nuts are available for shaft
(thread Tr 210 to Tr 280).
KM, KML, HMT lock nuts can be reused,
provided they are not damaged. A new lock
washer should be used each time the corresponding lock nut is installed.

HM(E) metric lock nuts

retained with a locking
clip
Fig. 16

MS locking clips are simple, stable and reliable fastening elements that engage a keyway in a shaft or adapter sleeve and one of
the slots in the outside diameter of the lock
nut. Locking clips are attached to the nut by
a bolt ( fig. 16).
About HM(E) 30 and 31 series

metric lock nuts
HM(E) 30 and 31 series lock nuts, which
have metric trapezoidal threads, have eight
equally spaced slots located around their
circumference ( fig. 17) to accommodate
an impact spanner. These lock nuts are
located on the shaft by MS locking clips
( fig. 18).
When compared to HM lock nuts, HME
lock nuts have a recessed side face to accommodate axial displacement of CARB
toroidal roller bearings.
HM(E) lock nuts can be reused, provided
they are not damaged. A new locking clip
should be used each time the corresponding
lock nut is reinstalled.

Easy to install and remove
Shaft thread diameter range
220-1120mm
Locking clips consist of a clip, a hexagonal
head bolt to EN ISO 4017 and a spring-lock
washer to DIN 128. The lock nut and locking
clips generally conform to ISO; see table 4
on page 46 for details.

The nut and the locking device must be ordered separately. The appropriate locking
device can be found in the product tables
( page 47). The product tables for locking
devices start on page 50.
Fig. 18
HM(E) metric lock nuts

Installation
HM(E) lock nuts are easy to install. Each nut
is provided with eight equally spaced slots
around their circumference to accommodate
an impact spanner.
HM(E) lock nuts can be reused, provided
they are not damaged. A new locking clip
should be used each time the corresponding
lock nut is installed.
Appropriate spanner sizes are listed in the
product tables ( page 47). For more information about the appropriate spanner,
see section Tools on page 66.
1 With the bearing or component in position, screw the lock nut into place.
2 Tighten the nut against the bearing or
component with an impact spanner
( fig. 19), aligning one of the slots in its
outside diameter with the keyway in the
shaft thread and making sure to not over
tighten it.
3 Place the spring washer and locking clip
onto the attachment bolt.
4 Position the locking clip in the keyway in
the shaft thread and the slot in the nut
outside diameter and secure with the attachment bolt and spring washer and
align the bolt with one of the threaded
holes on the side face of the lock nut.
5 Tighten the bolt ( fig. 20) with an appropriate wrench.

N and AN inch lock

nuts retained with a
lock washer

Lock washers ( fig. 21) are simple, stable
and reliable fastening elements that engage
a keyway in a shaft, or adapter sleeve
thread. The washer locks the nut in position
when one of the washer tabs is bent into
one of the slots on the nuts outside diameter ( fig. 22).
About N and AN inch lock nuts

N and AN inch lock nuts, up to and including
size 44 (shaft thread diameter 8.628 in.),
use a lock washer. They have four equally
spaced slots around their circumference
( fig. 23) to accommodate a hook or impact spanner. These lock nuts are also referred to as shaft or withdrawal nuts.
N 00 to N 14, AN 15 to AN 40 and N 44
lock nuts are normal series lock nuts commonly used together with bearings in the
12, 13, 222, 223 and 232 series up to size
23244 mounted directly to the shaft or via
an adapter sleeve.
N 022 to N 044 lock nuts are low profile
series lock nuts commonly used together
with bearings in the 230 series. They can
also be used to secure other bearing types
and other machine components. Lock nuts
and lock washers are listed in the product
tables ( page 56).
Dimensional data for lock washers can be
found on page 58.

N inch lock nuts

retained with a locking
plate
Locking plates are simple, stable and reliable
fastening elements that engage a keyway in
a shaft or adapter sleeve and are attached to
the side face of the nut by two bolts secured
with locking wire ( fig. 28). A locking plate
consists of a plate, two hexagonal head bolts
with drilled heads and lock wire to secure
them ( fig. 29).

Easy to mount and dismount
Thread diameters range from 9.442 to
37.410 inches
The inch lock nuts and inch lock washers
generally conform to ANSI/ABMA standard
8.2. See table 6 on page 62 for details. For
additional information, see the product tables (page 64).
The nut and locking plate must be ordered
separately.
About N inch lock nuts

N lock nuts for nominal thread diameters
ranging from 9.442 to 37.410 inches (size
N 048 to N 950) are low profile series lock
nuts that use a locking plate. These lock
nuts, also referred to as shaft or withdrawal
nuts, have four equally spaced slots around
their circumference ( fig. 30) to accommodate an impact spanner.
Lock nuts and locking plates are listed in
the product table ( page 64). Dimensional
data for locking plates can be found on
page 65.
N Lock nuts with a locking plate are commonly used with bearings in the 23048,
23148 and 23248 series and larger, but can
also be used to retain any suitable bearing
or other machine component.
N lock nuts can be reused, provided they
are not damaged. A new locking plate should
be used each time the corresponding lock
nut is installed.

provided with four equally spaced slots
around its circumference to accommodate
an impact spanner. Appropriate spanner
sizes are listed in the product tables
( page 64).
N lock nuts can be reused, provided they
are not damaged. A new locking plate should
be used each time the corresponding lock

2 Tighten the nut against the bearing or
component with an impact spanner, making sure to not over tighten it ( fig. 31).
3 Position the locking plate in the keyway.
4 Tighten the nut further, if required, to
align the holes in the plate with the holes
on the side face of the nut, making sure
that the plate maintains its position in the
keyway.
5 Screw both bolts into the side face of the
lock nut and tighten them.
6 Thread the wire supplied with the locking
plate through the holes in the head of
both bolts in a figure 8 pattern.

TMFS lock nut sockets ( fig. 37) are used

to tighten and loosen KM and KMK series
lock nuts. The sockets are available in 21
different sizes and are suitable for bearings
with a bore diameter between 10 and
100 mm. The sockets are an alternative to
hook spanners and make the use of power
tools or torque wrenches possible. Larger
sizes and deep well sockets are available on
request.
TMFN impact spanners

TMFN impact spanners ( fig. 38) are used
to tighten and loosen the lock nuts used to
locate large bearings mounted on tapered
journals, adapter or withdrawal sleeves. The
impact spanners are designed to fit a number of different nut sizes, and are suitable
for KM, HM .. T, HML .. T, HM 30.., HM 31..,
AN and N lock nuts.
Fig. 39
TMHN 7 spanners
It is essential, when mounting self-aligning
bearings on adapter sleeves, to obtain the
correct internal radial clearance. Failure to
do so will have a negative impact on bearing
performance, which could lead to premature
bearing failure. To avoid these problems,
SKF has designed a set of seven spanners
( fig. 39 and table 7) to fit KM lock nuts
size 5 to 11. Each spanner is clearly marked
with the correct tightening angle, to facilitate
drive-up and to maintain the recommended
radial clearance after locking the lock nut
onto the shaft. The spanner engages the nut
in four places.
