The BGL KMFE series lock nut is a key accessory to secure adapter sleeves, bearings, gears and pulleys on the shaft. Its nodular cast iron design allows tightening with less effort and reduces the risk of seizing during disassembly. It is locked with an MB washer or MS safety lock, and is available in carbon steel or stainless steel. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The KMFE… designation is read as the KMFE series followed by a number indicating the shaft or thread diameter. For example, KMFE4, KMFE5, KMFE6 and KMFE7 cover small sizes; KMFE8, KMFE9, KMFE10 and KMFE11, larger sizes. The numeric suffix is not an arbitrary code: it identifies the thread and the size of the sleeve it works with. When ordering, provide the full code so we can quote the exact size.

These nuts are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, oil and in aggregate processing plants. They also appear in power transmission equipment, conveyor belts, mills and mixers. In Argentina, they are common in the maintenance of agricultural and industrial machinery, where bearings or pulleys need to be secured reliably and with the possibility of disassembly without damaging the shaft.

To select the correct nut, take into account the diameter and thread pitch of the shaft or sleeve, and the type of lock: MB washer or MS safety lock. Nodular cast iron allows tightening with less torque and facilitates disassembly. When mounting, check the alignment and that the lock seats properly. Lubricating the thread helps achieve uniform tightening. If the environment is corrosive, choose the stainless steel version.

The KMFE nuts are interchangeable with other brands that follow the same international dimensional standards. If you have a code from another brand or an unidentified part, send us the data and we will tell you the compatible equivalent. The thread and pitch are the critical parameters for the replacement to work without issues.
