A. The 696800-KM8 is a KM8 locknut socket designed for the safe, accurate installation and removal of KM locknuts — specialised precision nuts used to secure bearings and other critical components on shafts. It is specifically used to secure and adjust bearings on tapered journals, adapter sleeves, and withdrawal sleeves.
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 696800-KM8 is purpose-built to engage directly with those slots, providing a positive drive connection that distributes torque evenly and prevents slippage, rounding, or distortion.
A. The 696800-KM8 uses a 1/2" square drive, allowing it to be used with standard ratchets and torque wrenches.
A. Yes. The 1/2" square drive on the 696800-KM8 is compatible with ratchets and torque wrenches, enabling accurate torque application during installation and removal of KM locknuts.
A. Yes. The socket demands less space around the bearing arrangement than when using a hook spanner, making it better suited to installations where access is restricted.
A. The socket measures 60 x 60 x 40 mm (L x W x H) and weighs 0.43 kg. The KM8 specification references a nut outer diameter (ØA) of 42 mm, an overall diameter (ØB) of 54 mm, and a body diameter (ØC) of 60 mm, with a thread size of M40.
A. Yes. The reach of the KM8 socket can be extended using the 696800-KM8EXT Extension Tube, which is available separately.
A. Next-day delivery is available on most products and will appear as an option at checkout where eligible.
