- Examples
Example 1: Tapered roller bearing
In tapered roller bearings, run-out accuracy, a high level of axial rigidity and dynamic safety create a major contribution to perfect bearing operation: Radial stress applied to the tapered roller bearing generates axial forces (axial rigidity). Due to a lack of axial pretension (no axial friction), the intrinsic safety of the locknut is extremely important.
Example 2: Ball roller spindle
The use of a locknut gives the bearing of the ball roller spindle a high degree of axial rigidity. Under highly dynamic operating conditions, the high degree of dynamic safety of the locknut represents a major advantage.
Example 3: Friction clutch
A locknut is used here to provide precise and infinitely variable adjustment of the pretension of the spring on a friction clutch. The reliable locking function is of particular importance here.
Example 4: Main spindle bearing
The locknut ensures a high level of axial rigidity and excellent concentricity on the main spindle bearing in a turning lathe.
Example 5: Round axis
Not a millimetre is lost in the axial direction and, despite this, there is no need to sacrifice run-out accuracy, axial rigidity or a high degree of dynamic safety.
Example 6: Table structure
Due to the flat design, countersunk installation is possible without causing any interfering contours in the table surface. Straining of the structure due to a tilting locknut caused by thread flank play, or even opening under dynamic load are not possible due to the characteristic properties of the locknut.
Example 7: Tooling spindle
The low installation height of the MSF locknut makes it possible to create a compact drive side of the spindle. This configuration saves valuable installation space and minimises destructive rotating bending stress. At the same time, the benefits of a Spieth high-precision locknut are fully exploited.

4 unique features – numerous benefits
- Secure
The locking system enables the application of high clamping forces to ensure that the nut is friction-locked onto the spindle thread. The load is applied to the thread across 360° symmetrically and evenly. The locking force and working load act in the same direction and cannot cancel each other out. This is the requirement for the highest locking effect while at the same time preserving the connecting components.
- Self-centering
The locking procedure is designed to exert a self-centring effect for the nut on the spindle thread. This is the prerequisite for ensuring a coaxial end position of the nut relative to the spindle and for a vertical orientation of the end face with respect to the connection assembly. For demanding applications, this effect can be used in a separate installation step specifically to minimise thread join play.
- Precise
All functional surfaces that determine precision are manufactured in a single set-up. And in contrast to other locking concepts, the precision is retained by design once it has been created, even during installation and operation.
- Consistent rigidity
Irrespective of the degree of pretension in the nut, the closed distribution of locking force ensures an intensive application of the thread flanks in the direction of the working load. The assembly process creates an elastic pretension in the join of the thread pairing, as a result of which the bearing area of the thread flanks and the rigidity of the join are significantly increased. Damaging micro-movements, caused by strong impulses or abrupt changes in the direction of force, are drastically reduced.
- Function
Functional Principle
In this example, based on a type MSF locknut. The principle is illustrated in a simplified diagram with enlarged thread flank play.
1. Screwing on the locknut
As with every threaded connection, there is a degree of mating play when the nuts are screwed on. As a result, the nut may be aligned with a parallel and/or angled axial offset relative to the spindle axis; in other words, the contact surface of the nut may be at an incline.
2. Spieth locknuts: Self-centring and selfaligning thanks to play restriction
Unique: Spieth locknuts are automatically self-centring and eliminate mating play (thread flank play) as far as possible. Thanks to play restriction, the locknut centres itself and the contact surface of the engages at right angles to the spindle axis.
3. Tightening and locking
The locknut is tightened with the required level of preliminary torque. The lock screws are then locked with the specified level of locking torque. This ensures optimum contact at the thread flanks and maximum concentricity.
4. Higher levels of operational safety
Spieth benefit: The previously set locking forces are not cancelled by the working load, but are superimposed and therefore reinforced. Put simply: the forces act in the same direction and are therefore added to each other. The optimum solution that delivers improved safety.
