FAQ

Question?
What is the difference between the "V2A" marking on the nut and "SS" on the package?

Answer:
Both markings refer to stainless steel. V2A is a specific German grade (1.4301), while SS is a general abbreviation for Stainless Steel. For this component, they can be considered functionally identical, indicating excellent corrosion resistance.

Question?
Which tool is required to tighten this KM 14 lock nut correctly?

Answer:
This nut is designed to be used with a hook spanner (also known as a C-spanner) that fits the slots on the outer diameter. For a KM 14 nut, the appropriate spanner size is typically designated as HN 14 or an equivalent adjustable hook spanner.

Question?
What is the purpose of a lock washer with this type of nut?

Answer:
A KM series lock nut is typically used with a corresponding MB series lock washer (e.g., MB 14). The washer has an inner tab that fits into a keyway on the shaft and multiple outer tabs. After tightening the nut, one of the outer tabs is bent into a slot on the nut to prevent it from loosening due to vibration or rotation.
