BHS / BMS Series BEARHUG Locknuts – Stainless Steel
BHS (inch) and BMS (metric) are the stainless steel BEARHUG locknuts. They pair the same prevailing-torque polymer locking ring with a corrosion-resistant stainless body, so bearings stay preloaded in washdown, marine, chemical and food-processing environments where a carbon steel nut would rust into place or shed scale into the assembly.
