Product Details

1、 MSA series core positioning and design principles

The MSA series is a precision threaded locking nut designed by Spieth specifically for space constrained working conditions. Its core advantage lies in the dual characteristics of "compactness+high precision". Unlike the universal design of the MSR series, its contact surface has been optimized and reduced, with a more compact outer diameter and no additional installation space required. It is particularly suitable for assembly scenarios of angular contact ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings. Through the built-in precision inclined system and 360 ° symmetrical load distribution design, uniform radial clamping force is generated during tightening. At the same time, a precision grinding clamping ring is integrated, which has both locking and shaft sleeve protection functions, without the need for additional grooves or locking plates, simplifying the shaft system structure while ensuring spindle concentricity and adapting to various high-precision and small space transmission scenarios.

Its design follows Spieth's core technology concept - seamless, high rigidity, adjustable precision locking and connection technology. It adopts a rotating symmetrical structure without grooves, card slots, or other unbalanced designs to avoid vibration and eccentric loads during high-speed operation. Through axial tension and uniform load design, multiple bolts can be synchronously locked to ensure balanced compression of the connection surface. Combined with built-in overload protection function, the locking state can be maintained even under high-frequency vibration or temperature fluctuations, avoiding loosening, wear and other problems from the root, and adapting to long-term high-frequency operating conditions.

2、 Full specification detailed parameters (measured by the original factory)

The MSA series covers a full range of models with shaft diameters from 10mm to 200mm. The thread specifications are diverse and suitable for different space constrained working conditions. The core parameters follow German industrial standards and ISO standards, and some models comply with DIN6331 standards. The specific parameters are as follows:

3、 Core design highlights and product advantages

Compact design: the contact surface is optimized and reduced, the outer diameter is more compact than that of MSR series, and no additional installation space is required. It is especially suitable for the assembly of supporting role contact ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings (ISO diameter series 9) and various space constrained scenes, greatly saving the internal space of the equipment.
Seamless locking: Adopting Spieth diaphragm locking system, the radial uniform clamping force design eliminates all radial and axial clearances, ensuring positioning accuracy and repeatability accuracy, suitable for precision transmission scenarios such as small machine tool spindles, robot joints, etc.
Excellent self centering and protection performance: automatic alignment of the central axis and threads during installation reduces manual adjustment costs, uniform radial clamping force avoids indentation on the shaft, effectively protects the shaft and bearing inner holes, reduces wear, and is easy to disassemble and reinstall, extending the overall service life of the equipment.
High precision machining: All contact surfaces (threads, end faces, clamping rings) are precision ground with tolerances controlled at the micrometer level. The threads and end faces are machined synchronously to ensure concentricity and perpendicularity, improve equipment operation stability, and comply with ISO and German industrial standards.
Easy installation: No special tools required, quick assembly and disassembly can be achieved through built-in hex screws, supporting frequent maintenance scenarios, adapting to batch installation, reducing construction difficulty and labor costs, and installation efficiency is better than traditional lock nuts and MSR series.
Strong wear resistance and good environmental adaptability: surface hardening treatment combined with high-quality materials has better resistance to micro motion wear than traditional nuts, and can withstand long-term high-frequency operation, reducing maintenance frequency; Wide temperature adaptation range, capable of stable operation in high and low temperature, corrosive environments.
