Description
696500-KMT12 - Locknut Socket
The Sykes-Pickavant KMT Sockets are designed for the safe, accurate installation and removal of KMT locknuts - specialised precision nuts used to secure bearings and other critical components on shafts. These nuts feature slots around their circumference, which means a standard socket or spanner cannot be used without risking damage to the nut or shaft.
KMT sockets are purpose-built tools that engage directly with the nut’s slots, providing a positive drive connection that distributes torque evenly. This prevents slippage, rounding, or distortion - common issues when improvised tools are used - and helps maintain the integrity of both the locknut and the component it secures.
The socket demands less space around the bearing arrangement than when using a hook spanner and allows the use of ratchets and torque wrenches via a 3/4" drive.
