PN Series Precision Locknuts – Inch
The PN series is the precision inch locknut: the clamping face is ground square to the thread axis to a tight runout tolerance, so tightening the nut applies preload evenly around the bearing race instead of cocking it. That squareness is what keeps a precision spindle running true. PN nuts lock with a PW series precision lockwasher.
