The Roller Bearing Lock Nut mounted on the threaded onto the differential case or bevel gear housing, is positioned against the outer race of the tapered roller bearing. After the bearings are set to the desired pre-load using shims, the lock nut is tightened, effectively clamping the bearing assembly in place. This ensures proper bearing fit and minimizes bearing wear during machine operation.Attributes:• Hardened to RKW C40 Which increases the impact resistance and wear resistance• Minimizes gear noise and maximizes power transmission efficiencyApplications: The Roller Bearing Lock Nut secures the adjusted position of the tapered roller bearings within the differential and bevel gear assembly. Applying a precise clamping force prevents bearing movement and maintains proper pre-load on the bearings.
