BM Series BEARHUG Locknuts – Metric
The Whittet-Higgins BM series is the metric-thread counterpart to the inch BH BEARHUG locknut. A heat-stabilized polymer ring generates prevailing torque against the shaft thread so the nut self-locks without a lockwasher, tab or keyway, and can be re-set repeatedly without losing its grip. BM nuts drop into the same envelope as a standard KM metric locknut, which makes them a direct upgrade where an MB lockwasher tab keeps fatiguing.
