BHL / BML Series BEARHUG Locknuts – Left-Hand Threads
BHL (inch) and BML (metric) are the left-hand-thread BEARHUG locknuts. Where a shaft rotates in the direction that would loosen a right-hand nut, a left-hand thread plus the BEARHUG prevailing-torque polymer ring gives two independent reasons for the nut to stay put. Dimensions and spanner slots match the right-hand BH and BM nuts of the same size.
