FAQ Question? What is the correct tightening procedure for a FAG KM15 lock nut? The KM15 should be tightened using a suitable hook spanner (C-spanner) that fits the notches on its circumference. It is typically used with a corresponding MB15 locking washer. The nut is tightened to the required torque, and then a tab on the washer is bent into one of the nut’s slots to prevent it from loosening. Always refer to the machine’s maintenance manual for specific torque values. Question? What is the thread specification for the KM15? The FAG KM15 has a metric fine thread of M75x2. This means it has a nominal diameter of 75 mm and a thread pitch of 2 mm. Question? Is this nut compatible with bearings from other manufacturers like SKF? Yes, the KM15 lock nut is manufactured according to the DIN 981 standard. This means it is dimensionally interchangeable with other DIN 981 compliant lock nuts, such as the SKF KM 15, for use with adapter sleeves or on shafts with the corresponding M75x2 thread. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
