The TIMKEN MS series lock washer is a fastening element that mounts on the shaft and locks the lock nut so it does not loosen due to vibration or rotation. It is used in bearing assemblies, especially in precision nut mountings, where the axial position must be secured. MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and quotes it on WhatsApp with the exact code.

The MS series designation is read from the number that follows the letters: in codes such as MS30/500 and MS31/500 the suffix after the slash indicates the size of the assembly, while in codes such as MS3044, MS3048, MS3052, MS3056, MS3060 and MS3064 the full number identifies each washer size. To choose the right one, you must cross-reference that code with the diameter and the type of nut of the mounting; if you have doubts, send us the code and the assembly where it is mounted.

These washers are used in equipment where the bearing works under load and vibration: conveyor belts, mills, pumps, gearboxes, road and agricultural machinery, and in general on any shaft with a spherical roller bearing that needs reliable axial fixing. In the Argentine market they are widely requested for maintenance in cement, food and aggregate plants, where bearing replacement requires leaving the nut locked in position again.

To select the washer, you must respect the nut-washer combination of the mounting: the inner tab must enter the shaft groove and the outer tab must be bent over one face of the nut. Check that the seat is clean and free of burrs, and that the tab has not been fatigued in a previous mounting. Lubrication of the assembly and alignment of the bearing also influence whether the fixing works without lateral stresses.

Lock washers are interchanged between manufacturers by equivalence of dimensions and nut type, not by the commercial code: the same size may appear with different nomenclatures depending on the brand. What matters is keeping the original combination of the equipment or replacing it with one of the same geometry. If you cannot find the reference, write to us on WhatsApp with the code or model you need and we will tell you the compatible alternative.
