Bearing Retaining Jam Nuts


Used in pairs or with another bearing retaining nut, these jam nuts—often called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears in place on your threaded shaft or spindle. Threading two nuts tightly against each other makes it harder for vibration to loosen your assembly than if you used only one nut. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. These jam nuts have holes on the side, so you can tighten and loosen them with a pin spanner wrench. Made of carbon steel, they’re strong and wear resistant. All meet DIN 1816, an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions.

Bearing Retaining Nuts

Often paired with spring lock washers to strengthen their hold, these retaining nuts—also known as shaft nuts—keep vibration from shifting bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears on your threaded shaft or spindle. They have slotted sides, so you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket.
Use stepped-face retaining nuts with DIN 462 spring lock washers. You can also use them in pairs or with other bearing retaining nuts as jam nuts. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. All meet DIN standards for bearing lockout dimensions.
