Fields of application and Assembly examples of MSR
MSR series locknuts are precision nuts whose system-specific benefits can be used to advantage in every mechanical engineering sector. Where high-speed spindles or spindles subject to high levels of strain are used, their axial rigidity and high levels of dynamic safety ensure optimum results for the entire bearing system. Repeated precision adjustments can be carried out using the locknut on the same spindle. The locknut can simply and precisely assume the function of shaft collar or contact surface. Even where a union is expected to comply to only the most stringent demands, these locknuts can be ideally applied.
Following practical examples will give an overview of different applications:
Fig. 1: Locknut used as an adjustable seating surface for a machine superstructure. During assembly, the back-lash free setting of the nut can be precisely adjusted. The precise right-angled positioning of the end contact surface of the locknut ensures that no distortion of the machine superstructure takes place when tightening the counter nuts.
Fig. 3: End plate of a pillar set. The precisely right-angled contact surface of the locknut guarantees even subjection of the bolt thread to strain (devoid of flexural torque). This is of particular importance in situations involving dynamic stress.
Fig. 4: The spring pretension on a friction clutch is precisely and steplessly adjusted here using a locknut. A reliable locking function is of particular importance here.
