Q 1. What is the 696800-KM3 used for?

A. The Sykes-Pickavant 696800-KM3 is a KM3 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 suited to securing and adjusting 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 KM3 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-KM3 use?

A. The 696800-KM3 uses a 1/2 inch square drive, allowing it to be used with standard 1/2 inch ratchets and torque wrenches.

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

A. Yes. The 1/2 inch square drive of the KM3 socket is compatible with standard ratchets and torque wrenches, enabling accurate torque application during bearing installation and removal.

Q 5. Does the KM3 socket require more clearance around the bearing than a hook spanner?

A. No. The socket demands less space around the bearing arrangement than when using a hook spanner, making it practical in confined or restricted locations.

Q 6. What are the dimensions and weight of the 696800-KM3?

A. The KM3 socket measures 30 mm x 30 mm x 40 mm (L x W x H) and weighs 0.12 kg.

Q 7. Are other KM socket sizes available?

A. The source references individual KM sockets and extension pieces within the Sykes-Pickavant range. The 696800-KM3 is the KM3 size variant. For details on other sizes and extensions, please contact us or refer to the product listing for related items.

Q 8. When will my order be dispatched?

A. In-stock orders placed before 14:30 Monday to Friday are usually dispatched the same day.

Q 9. 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.
