The BGL KMFE lock nut is a key accessory for mounting bearings, gears and pulleys on the shaft. It is used together with adapter sleeves and locked with an MB lock washer or MS safety lock, depending on the application. Its nodular cast iron design allows tightening with less effort and reduces the risk of seizing during disassembly. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in the industry.
The KMFE designation is read as a lock nut of the KMFE series, where the first number indicates the nominal diameter of the shaft or adapter sleeve and the second the metric thread. For example, KMFE11x1.5 corresponds to a diameter of 11 mm with a 1.5 mm pitch; KMFE12x1.5 and KMFE13x1.5 follow the same logic. This nomenclature makes it possible to quickly identify the size needed for each assembly.
These nuts are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as metallurgy, food, mining and agro-industry. They are common in power transmission equipment, conveyor belts, mills, pumps and fans. Their function is to secure the position of bearings and other components on the shaft, ensuring a stable and reliable assembly under vibration or variable loads.
To select the correct nut, take into account the diameter and thread pitch of the shaft or adapter sleeve, and the type of lock washer you will use. The nodular cast iron of the KMFE series offers a good balance between strength and ease of tightening, which reduces the effort required and the risk of damaging the thread during disassembly. It is important to correctly align the assembly and lubricate the thread before mounting to facilitate future maintenance.
KMFE lock nuts can be found under different brands and designations depending on the manufacturer. When looking for a replacement, it is essential to compare the main dimensions: diameter, pitch and type of lock. Interchangeability between brands is usually given by international standards, but it is always advisable to verify compatibility with the existing adapter sleeve and washer. If you have any doubts, the MR Accesorios Industriales team will advise you on choosing the right option.
