FAQ What is the purpose of the slots on the FAG KM10?The four slots around the circumference are designed for a hook spanner (also known as a C-spanner or jaw spanner) to apply the correct torque for tightening or loosening the nut. Which locking washer should be used with this nut?The FAG KM10 lock nut is designed to be used with a corresponding MB10 locking washer. The washer’s inner tab fits into a keyway on the shaft, and one of its outer tabs is bent into a slot on the nut to prevent it from rotating. Is this nut reusable?Yes, the lock nut itself is reusable, provided it is not damaged. However, it is standard practice to use a new locking washer (MB10) each time the assembly is dismantled and re-secured, as the locking tab is bent during installation.
