The SKF KML series lock nut is a precision component used to secure bearings and other elements on cylindrical shafts. Its slotted design allows locking by means of a lock washer, ensuring reliable fastening even in applications with vibration. It is ideal for industrial assemblies requiring exact adjustment and easy installation.
The designation KML followed by a number indicates the nut size. For example, KML 24 corresponds to a nut with M120×2 thread, and so on according to the code. The number is not the diameter directly, but a code related to the shaft and thread dimensions. This series is characterized by its slim profile and external slots for locking with an MB washer or similar. It is important to consult the compatibility tables to select the right nut according to the bearing to be secured.
These nuts are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as food, cement, mining, oil and power transmission. They are common in applications where bearings are mounted on gearbox shafts, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and machinery in general. Their use is critical to maintain the axial position of the bearing and prevent displacement that could damage the equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this series to meet the requirements of industrial maintenance and assembly.
For correct selection, it is essential to verify the thread and shaft diameter, as well as compatibility with the bearing and the lock washer. During mounting, it is recommended to clean the threads, apply the proper torque and use the lock washer to prevent loosening. Lubricating the thread facilitates adjustment and disassembly. In addition, the alignment of the assembly must be verified to avoid undue axial loads. Careful mounting extends bearing service life and reduces unplanned downtime.
As for equivalents, SKF KML series nuts are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the same dimensional standard, such as the KM series from other firms. However, it is always advisable to verify the technical specifications and the thread before replacing a component. Interchangeability between brands may vary depending on material and surface treatment, so it is advisable to consult a specialist. At MR we can advise you on compatibility with your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the number in the KML 24 designation mean?
- The number indicates the nut size, which corresponds to a specific shaft diameter according to SKF tables. It is not the diameter directly, but a code that relates the thread and dimensions. Consult the compatibility table to choose the right nut.
- How is the KML nut locked so it does not loosen?
- A lock washer (such as the MB series) is used, inserted into the slots of the nut and bent over a notch on the shaft. This prevents accidental rotation. It is important to replace the washer if the assembly is dismounted.
- Can I use a KML nut from another brand instead of SKF?
- Yes, as long as it meets the same dimensions and standard. SKF KML series nuts are interchangeable with those of other brands that follow the KM standard. Verify the thread and material before replacing. At MR we advise you.
