Q 1. What is a KM5 locknut socket used for?

A. The KM5 locknut socket is designed for the safe, accurate installation and removal of KM5 locknuts — specialised precision nuts used to secure bearings and other critical components on shafts, including tapered journals, adapter sleeves, and withdrawal sleeves.

Q 2. Why can I not use a standard socket or spanner on KM locknuts?

A. KM locknuts feature slots around their circumference, which means a standard socket or spanner cannot be used without risking damage to the nut or shaft. The KM5 socket is purpose-built to engage directly with these slots, providing a positive drive connection that distributes torque evenly and prevents slippage, rounding, or distortion.

Q 3. What drive size does the KM5 socket use?

A. The KM5 locknut socket features a 1/2-inch square drive, allowing the use of standard ratchets and torque wrenches.

Q 4. Can I use a torque wrench with the KM5 socket?

A. Yes. The 1/2-inch square drive means the KM5 socket is compatible with standard ratchets and torque wrenches, enabling accurate and controlled torque application during installation and removal.

Q 5. Does the KM5 socket require a lot of clearance around the bearing arrangement?

A. No. The socket demands less space around the bearing arrangement than when using a hook spanner, making it suitable for confined working environments.

Q 6. What are the dimensions and weight of the KM5 socket?

A. The KM5 socket measures 40 x 40 x 40 mm and weighs 0.216 kg.

Q 7. Is there an extension tube available for the KM5 socket?

A. Yes. The reach of the KM5 socket can be extended using the 696800-KM5EXT Extension Tube, which is available separately.

Q 8. What warranty does this product come with?

A. Every product comes with a different guarantee and warranty. Warranty details are shown in the product's tech specs or datasheet where available.
