EXPLANATORY NOTE
The requirements of locknuts were first published in IS: 6731-1972 ‘Specification for slotted
round nuts ‘. The present revision has been necessitated due to the publication of IS0 2982-1972
‘ Rolling bearings - Locknuts, narrow series and lockwashers with straight inner tab ’ and to include
the requirements of lockwashers which are used in conjunction with locknuts in rolling bearings. In
the present revision, reference to hardened and unhardened nuts has been deleted and sizes greater
than 200 mm with trapezoidal threads have been included. Illustration of application is given in
Appendix B.
This standard conforms to IS0 2982-1972 issued by International Organization for
