FAQ

What is the correct locking device for a KM18 nut?

The standard corresponding locking device is an MB18 lock washer, which engages with one of the nut's slots and a keyway in the shaft to prevent rotation.

A hook spanner (or C-spanner) is required. For the KM18, the corresponding tool designation is typically a HN 18 or a universal hook spanner suitable for a 120 mm diameter.

The procedure varies by application. It generally involves tightening the nut to a specific torque or angle of rotation to achieve the correct bearing internal clearance or preload, as specified by the machine or bearing manufacturer.
