FAG KM17 M85x2 Lock Nut

Description

The FAG KM17 is a precision-engineered lock nut, also known as a shaft nut or bearing nut, designed for securing bearings and other components onto a shaft. Manufactured to DIN 981 standards, this nut provides reliable axial location and is an essential component for many rotating machinery applications. It must be used in conjunction with a suitable locking device, typically an MB17 tab washer.

FAQ

Question?
What is the correct tightening procedure for a KM17 lock nut?

Answer

The FAG KM17 should be tightened using a C-spanner or hook spanner that fits the four slots on its periphery. It’s tightened to a specific torque or angle to achieve the correct bearing preload. After tightening, it must be secured with a corresponding MB17 tab washer by bending one of the washer’s tabs into a slot on the nut.

Question?
What is the material and surface treatment of the FAG KM17?

Answer

This lock nut is typically manufactured from high-strength steel. It often has a black oxide or phosphated finish to provide corrosion resistance during transport and storage. Always check the datasheet for specific material grade information if your application has critical requirements.

Question?
Can I reuse a KM17 lock nut and its MB17 washer?

Answer

While the KM17 lock nut itself can often be reused if the threads are undamaged and it has not been over-torqued, it is strongly recommended to always use a new MB17 tab washer. The tab washer is a single-use locking device; bending and re-bending the tab will cause metal fatigue and compromise its locking ability.
