Choosing a high-quality locknut is like buying insurance for your machine. Guaranteeing stable consistent efficient operation for a very long time. Locknuts are used for CNC lathe machine, CNC grinding machines. Traditional industrial lock nuts with washers are not suitable for super-precise machine bearings because they have relatively large manufacturing tolerances. Axial/radial roller bearings for screw drives and axial angular contact ball bearings are fitted with locknuts that ensure a defined axial preload.
