Lock Nuts Manufacturers

A lock nut is a nut, which is used to stop some other nut or similar component from working loose. Locknuts are also used when some part of a machine spins as they can allow the transmission of rotational force to a threaded axle: in the context of power transmission. It is also used to securely fasten gears and bearings to shafts or spindles. Lock nuts are very useful and are used by engineers and mechanics. Lock nuts are used to secure bearing adjustment of most hubs; headsets, pedals and side pull brakes. These lock nuts are the outermost parts, which are screwed onto the axle, and their outer surfaces press against the insides of the fork ends of the frame. The lock nuts are therefore the reference point which axle measures width and dishing.
