The Mecalac Nut (OEM MS50-8) is a standard full M8 nut used as a secure threaded fastening component on compatible Mecalac, Terex and Benford construction equipment. It is designed to work with a matching M8 threaded bolt, stud or setscrew to clamp and retain mechanical components securely in position.
Manufactured for use in demanding construction and site-equipment environments, the nut provides a simple and dependable fastening solution where vibration, movement and regular machine operation can place additional demands on mechanical joints. The MS50-8 specification is used across a range of assemblies, including brake, linkage, mounting and general mechanical applications.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The MS50-8 is a standard full M8 nut, but the correct grade, associated washer and mating fastener should be checked against the machine's original specification, particularly in safety-critical assemblies such as braking and control linkages.
Always confirm the OEM number, thread size and application before ordering to ensure the correct replacement is selected for your machine.
