SKF has announced the availability of a new, easily installed spindle nut locking system for both tractors and trailers that provides a high degree of strength. Components are forged, precision-machined, and then assembled with two high-strength lock bolts to withstand adverse conditions experienced in heavy-duty applications.
The two-piece SKF spindle nut locking system includes a hardened internal tab lock washer and a forged precision machined flange nut—a combination that meshes with precision-formed threads to provide exceptional strength.
Offered in steering, drive, and trailer sizes, the system is easy to install, requiring no special tools. It also is easy to service, providing consistent wheel bearing adjustment accuracy to avoid the extremes of pre-load and excessive bearing end play.
