Here at Tuli, we know the real struggle of keeping things tight. That's why our FAG MB2 lock washers are your secret weapon. These aren't just any washers; they're your guarantee against loosening, even when your machinery is shaking and rattling. Crafted from robust steel, they're built to last and designed to work perfectly with our shaft nuts. With an outer engaging diameter d3 of 21 mm, a securing tab distance M of 13.5 mm, an additional tab distance b2 of 4 mm, and a slender thickness 's' of 1 mm, they provide a precise, unyielding lock. We've seen firsthand how vibrations can wreak havoc, so trust the FAG MB2 to keep everything locked down, ensuring your machines run smoothly and safely.

Examples of use

You'll find these FAG MB2 lock washers are indispensable in any situation where shaft nuts simply *cannot* come loose. Imagine them in those high-vibration spots like industrial motors, pumps, and machinery spindles. They're also heroes in critical assemblies such as gearboxes and agricultural equipment. Basically, wherever you've got a bearing secured on a shaft with a nut, we strongly recommend an MB2 to prevent costly downtime and keep your operations humming. They truly are the unsung heroes of mechanical reliability!

Designation system

The designation system for our MB lock washers is refreshingly straightforward. It primarily indicates the nominal thread size of the shaft nut they're designed to secure. This ensures you can quickly match the correct washer to your specific application without any fuss.

• Designed for secure locking of shaft nuts, preventing loosening from vibration.

• Crafted from durable steel, ensuring long-lasting performance.

• Key dimensions: outer engaging diameter d3 = 21 mm, thickness s = 1 mm.

• Essential for maintaining operational integrity in dynamic machinery.

• Features a single bendable tab for positive engagement and simple installation.

Lubrication and maintenance

Good news! These lock washers don't demand any messy lubrication, as their job is purely mechanical locking. However, a little common sense goes a long way. Always make sure the contact surfaces—the washer, nut, and shaft—are clean and free from debris before installation. This simple step ensures maximum friction and a truly secure lock. A quick visual check during your regular machinery inspections is all it takes to confirm they're still doing their important job.

Mounting and dismounting

Installing an FAG MB2 lock washer is simple, but precision is key. First, tighten your shaft nut to its specified torque. Then, position the washer, aligning one of its inner tabs with a keyway on the shaft. Once aligned, simply bend one of the outer tabs into a slot on the shaft nutcreating that positive lock. To dismount, gently unbend the tab from the nut's slot, then unscrew the shaft nut. Always use appropriate tools and avoid forcing anything. While reusability sometimes happens, for critical applications, we always advise using a fresh washer for optimal performance.
