Technical

Q 1. What is the Sykes-Pickavant 696800-KM2 socket designed for?

A. The 696800-KM2 is a KM2 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, including bearings on tapered journals, adapter sleeves, and withdrawal sleeves.

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

A. KM locknuts feature slots around their circumference, which means a standard socket or spanner cannot engage them correctly without risking damage to the nut or shaft. The KM2 socket is purpose-built to engage directly with those slots, providing a positive drive connection that distributes torque evenly and prevents slippage, rounding, or distortion.

Q 3. What drive size does the 696800-KM2 socket use?

A. The 696800-KM2 has a 1/2-inch square drive, allowing it to be used with standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches.

Q 4. What hex size does this KM2 socket have?

A. The socket has a 22 mm hex pattern, enabling use with a socket wrench or spanner of that size.

Q 5. What are the dimensions and weight of the 696800-KM2?

A. The socket measures 25 x 25 x 35 mm and weighs 0.068 kg, making it a compact tool that demands less space around the bearing arrangement than a hook spanner.

Q 6. Can this socket be used with a torque wrench?

A. Yes. The 1/2-inch square drive means the socket is compatible with standard 1/2-inch drive torque wrenches, enabling accurate and controlled tightening of KM locknuts.

Q 7. Are other KM socket sizes available?

A. The source data indicates that individual KM sockets and extension pieces are available in the Sykes-Pickavant range. The 696800-KM2 is the KM2 size; other sizes may be available — please contact us to confirm which size is appropriate for your application.

Q 8. How long does delivery take?

A. Standard UK mainland delivery is 3–5 working days.
