To secure the lock nuts on the shaft a locking washer that engages a keyway in the shaft or key slot in the adapter sleeve can be used, or a locking mechanism integrated in the nut.

Lock nuts are used to locate bearings onto a shaft. They can additionally be used to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto tapered shaft and adapter sleeves, and to dismount bearings from withdrawal sleeves. Lock nuts can also be used to secure belt pulleys, gears, and other machine parts.

Self locking lock nuts do not require a groove in the shaft. Their installation is quick and easy to accomplish, since no loose security elements are to be handled and therefore often provide a better economic solution.
