Description
BGL MS31/850 is a reference of locking clip, within Bushings and sleeves. Request a quote for MS31/850 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with the quote and equivalents.
The BGL MS lock washer is a washer that fits over the HM nut of a large adapter sleeve and locks it in place with a screw. Its purpose is to prevent the nut from loosening due to vibration or rotation, keeping the bearing properly fitted on the shaft. It is used in large adapter sleeve assemblies, where the nut must be securely locked.
The MS… designation identifies the lock washer by the size of the adapter sleeve or nut it secures. Examples MS30/530, MS30/560, MS30/630, MS30/670, MS30/710 and MS30/750 match nuts of the same size; the number after the slash is a size code, not the shaft diameter. To choose the correct lock washer, the code must match the adapter sleeve and the HM nut you are going to secure.
These lock washers are used in equipment with bearings mounted on large adapter sleeves: rolling mills, mills, conveyor belts, heavy gearboxes and mining or cement machinery. In Argentina, they are found in steel plants, cement plants and the oil & gas sector. Their function is critical: a nut that loosens can cause axial play, vibration and premature bearing damage.
For assembly, check that the lock washer seats correctly on the HM nut and that the locking screw is tightened to the proper torque. The contact surface must be clean and free of burrs. The lock washer is fitted after tightening the nut with the corresponding wrench; the screw is tightened against the adapter sleeve or the intended groove. Check the tightness periodically, especially on equipment subject to vibration.
BGL MS lock washers are interchangeable with those of other brands that use the same designation for HM nuts. If your equipment's code does not match exactly, write to us with the original code and the adapter sleeve size: we will quote the equivalent lock washer. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the BGL line throughout Argentina.
To request a quote for your MS lock washer, send the full code via WhatsApp. If you do not have it at hand, give us the adapter sleeve diameter and the HM nut you want to secure. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will reply shortly with the exact reference.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between an MS lock washer and a standard lock washer?
- The MS lock washer is specifically designed for HM nuts on large adapter sleeves. It is secured with a screw that prevents the nut from rotating, whereas a standard lock washer does not have that positive locking function.
- How do I know which MS code corresponds to my adapter sleeve?
- The MS code relates to the size of the adapter sleeve or the HM nut. If you have the adapter sleeve code, send it and we will tell you the lock washer. If not, measure the diameter and ask us.
- How often should the tightness of the lock washer screw be checked?
- On equipment subject to vibration or variable loads, it is advisable to check the tightness at every preventive maintenance service. If you detect axial play or noise, check the lock washer and the nut adjustment.
