Product Overview: The MB 30 Lock Washer
The MB 30 Lock Washer is an essential component designed to securely fasten bearings onto a shaft or adapter sleeve. With a bore diameter of 150 mm and an outer diameter of 205 mm, this washer is specifically engineered to be used with a KM 30 lock nut. As a vital part of our Lock Washer and Bearing Accessories range, the MB 30 prevents the lock nut from loosening due to vibration or operational torque, ensuring a stable and reliable bearing assembly.
Its design features multiple external tabs (teeth) that can be bent into corresponding slots on the lock nut, creating a simple yet highly effective mechanical lock. This mechanism is crucial in applications where rotating components must remain precisely positioned. Manufactured from high-quality spring steel, the MB 30 offers excellent durability and performance in demanding industrial environments.
