The KM lock nut socket is a tightening tool designed to tighten and loosen slotted lock nuts, widely used in bearing mounting. Its tubular shape allows access to nuts located on shafts or housings where a standard wrench cannot reach. Manufactured by FAG, an official brand that MR Accesorios Industriales sells in Buenos Aires, Argentina, it is a key part for correct and safe mounting.
The designation of this line is built with the prefix LOCKNUT-SOCKET and the letters KM followed by a number that indicates the size. For example, LOCKNUT-SOCKET-KM0, LOCKNUT-SOCKET-KM1 and LOCKNUT-SOCKET-KM2 correspond to different nut sizes. The number is not a diameter or a direct measurement, but a reference that must be cross-checked with the KM series table to know which nut it applies to. If you have doubts, send us the complete part number and we will confirm the equivalence.
In Argentine industry, these sockets are used in maintenance of machine tools, pumps, gearboxes, fans and transmission equipment. They are also common in grinding shops and in plants where bearings are mounted and dismounted frequently. As a specific tool, it prevents blows and deformation of the nut, which is critical to avoid damaging the bearing or the shaft during assembly.
To choose the correct socket, first identify the KM nut you are going to tighten. The socket must fit without play in the slots and allow the use of a torque wrench or square drive. During mounting, apply the tightening force recommended by the bearing manufacturer and verify that the nut is properly seated. Do not use shims or homemade adapters: an inadequate socket can round the slots and ruin the nut.
KM lock nut sockets from different brands are usually interchangeable if the size and drive type match. FAG is a reference in bearings and mounting accessories, and its KM line is complemented by other tools. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell this brand as part of our catalog of bearings and accessories. If you need to compare with another brand, ask us with the part number and we will guide you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which lock nut socket I need for my KM nut?
- Identify the KM nut number you are going to tighten. The socket must match that number. If you are not sure, send us the nut part number or the shaft diameter and we will help you choose the correct model.
- Does it work to tighten bearing lock nuts from other brands?
- Yes, as long as the nut is of the KM type and the size matches. KM lock nut sockets are standard in shape and drive, so they are usually compatible between different bearing brands.
- What care should I take when using it?
- Verify that it fits well in the slots, avoid blows and do not use it with loose adapters. Apply the recommended torque and store it clean and free of impacts so it does not deform. A socket in good condition protects the nut and the bearing.
