SKF introduces its lug lock device, a mechanism designed to alert fleet maintenance personnel of a loosened wheel nut before it backs off the stud.

 


The SKF lug lock provides a timely flag when a nut is in need of re-torque. The lock is constructed with flexible slits that allow it to slip onto the nut while maintaining the ability to tightly grip the OD of the nut. The slip-on locks interconnect with the hub piloted wheel to provide a visual alert of a loose wheel nut that needs tightening.

Additionally the lug lock helps maintain the proper wheel nut torque to allow the tires to run truer. Manufactured in the United States of a premium grade polymer, the lug lock resists water, road salt and debris to withstand the harsh environments of North America.

The new SKF Lug Lock fits virtually all two-piece wheel nut systems commonly used on trucks, buses and trailers. The lug locks are available in a 60-piece bag and 20 bags of 60, totaling 1,200 in a barrel.
