Amandongomane atshixayo asetyenziselwa ukukhangela iibheringi kunye nezinye izinto kwishaft kunye nokuququzelela ukukhwela iibheringi kwiijenali ezifakwe tapered kunye nokuhla kweebheringi ezivela kwimikhono yokurhoxisa.
Amandongomane okutshixa achanekileyo anezikhonkwane zokutshixa, i-KMT kunye ne-KMTA yochungechunge oluchanekileyo lwe-lock nuts zinezikhonkwane zokutshixa ezithathu ezibekwe ngokulinganayo kwi-circumference yazo ezinokuqiniswa ngezikrufu ezimiselweyo ukutshixa i-nati kwi-shaft.Isiphelo sobuso besikhonkwane ngasinye senziwe ngomatshini ukuze singqinelane nomsonto we-shaft.Izikhonkwane zokutshixa, xa ziqinisiwe kwi-torque ecetyiswayo, zibonelela ngokukhuhlane okwaneleyo phakathi kweziphelo zezikhonkwane kunye neeflank zentambo ezingalayishwanga ukukhusela i-nut ukuba ikhululeke phantsi kweemeko eziqhelekileyo zokusebenza.
KMT lock nuts ziyafumaneka for intambo M 10×0.75 ukuya M 200×3 (ubukhulu 0 ukuya 40) kunye Tr 220×4 ukuya Tr 420×5 (ubukhulu 44 ukuba 84)
