FKD Precision Lock Nuts
Manufactured domestically since 1985 under a license agreement between Gewinde Ziegler AG (Switzerland) and Fukuda Trading Co., Ltd., FKD precision lock nuts are a proprietary brand product.
All FKD brand nuts are produced under management systems based on ISO9001/ISO14001. With advancements in machining technology, components such as bearings, shafts, and housings require high-precision nuts to ensure accurate assembly and function.
Simultaneously machining the thread and end face of high-precision nuts minimizes assembly adjustment time and maintains high rotational accuracy of the shaft.
Comparison of the end faces of ground nuts and turned nuts
Polished nuts have a small surface roughness, which improves the contact (degree of adhesion) between the end face and thread surface. They are highly effective in precision applications.

---|---|---|
We simultaneously polish the nut thread surface and end surface, controlling the precision lock nut for squareness. We control the effective diameter of the ZMN nut even more strictly than ISO 4H standards. We also polish the outer diameter and machine-tapped holes to ensure parallelism control and dynamic balancing after installation. |
