BGL KMT series lock nuts are precision components that secure bearings on spindles and machine tool shafts. They are locked by means of three bolts arranged at 120° that press against the shaft through pins with the thread angle, which guarantees firm and repeatable fastening. They are tightened with a hook or nut wrench and are manufactured in carbon steel. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The KMT series designation is read as KMT followed by a number that indicates the size: KMT0, KMT1, KMT2, KMT3, KMT4, KMT5, KMT6 and KMT7 are the available steps. That number is not a diameter or a direct measurement, but a size code that corresponds to a range of thread and dimensions. To select the right nut you need to know the shaft thread and its diameter. The KMTA variant shares the function but is tightened with a screw wrench instead of a hook wrench.

These lock nuts are used on the spindles of lathes, milling machines, grinding machines and machining centers, as well as in motors and precision equipment that require secure bearing adjustment. In Argentine industry they appear in machine tool maintenance, in component manufacturing and in equipment repair where vibration or axial loads demand a fastening that does not loosen. They are also used in applications with rotating shafts that need compact, low-profile retention.

To choose the right nut, take into account the shaft thread, the diameter and pitch, and the tightening method available. The KMT series requires a hook or nut wrench; the KMTA, a screw wrench. Mounting must be done with the shaft clean and free of burrs, and the nut is tightened until the three bolts are firm against the shaft. It is important to check the bearing alignment and not to exceed the recommended tightening torque to avoid deformation. Lubrication of the assembly also affects operation.

Precision lock nuts are available under different designations depending on the manufacturer, and equivalents are established by thread and diameter dimensions. If you have the code from another brand or an unidentified part, we can help you find the equivalent BGL nut. Interchangeability depends on the thread, diameter and type of tightening wrench matching. At MR Accesorios Industriales we advise you so that the selection is correct.

If you need BGL KMT or KMTA series lock nuts, write to us by WhatsApp with the code or measurement you are looking for. We will quote you as soon as possible and tell you the compatible alternative if you bring the code from another brand. MR Accesorios Industriales, with more than 80 years in Buenos Aires, Argentina, supports you in selecting precision components for your machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose a KMT lock nut?
You need to know the shaft thread, the diameter and the pitch. The number after KMT indicates the size, not the direct measurement. With that data we will quote the right nut or its equivalent in another brand.
What is the difference between KMT and KMTA?
Both secure bearings on precision machines and are locked with three bolts at 120°. The KMT is tightened with a hook or nut wrench; the KMTA, with a screw wrench. The choice depends on the available tool.
How is a KMT nut mounted?
The shaft is cleaned, the nut is threaded on and the three bolts are tightened against the shaft. The pins have the thread angle to lock. Check the bearing alignment and do not exceed the recommended torque.
