BOLTTE R-type precision locknuts are selected by metric thread, thread pitch, outside diameter and thickness. Choose the exact model that matches the mating spindle or shaft thread.
Model selection
Metric thread range: M8 to M200.
Thread pitches: 0.75 mm to 3 mm, depending on model.
Outside diameters: 16 mm to 250 mm, depending on model.
Thicknesses: 8 mm to 32 mm, depending on model.
Material: steel.
R-type locknuts: thread pitch is part of the model
Choose thread diameter and pitch together. R-M8 x 0.75P and R-M8 x 1P share a nominal diameter but do not fit the same thread specification.
Selection detail
What to check
Thread and pitch
Match the exact mating shaft or spindle thread, including direction where relevant.
Outside diameter and thickness
Check radial and axial space and access for the tightening method.
Order requirements
Identify the mating component and any special machining or installation requirements.
Can I select a locknut by shaft diameter alone?
No. Confirm pitch, thread direction, fit and the required locking arrangement. A plain-shaft collar is a different component and should not be treated as an equivalent threaded locknut.
Related selection references
Compare the drawings and intended function; these references are not a statement of direct interchangeability.
Select the exact thread diameter and pitch shown in the model name.
Confirm the mating shaft or spindle thread, available outside diameter and axial space.
In the remarks field, state the shaft or spindle size, thread direction, mating component, installation orientation and any special machining requirements.
Also state the application, operating speed, load, tightening method and working environment when relevant.
