Locking Plate to be used in a Locking Arrangement and such a Locking Arrangement

A locking arrangement for securing a shaft nut on a threaded shaft, the nut having two, opposing side faces and the shaft having an outer envelope surface, the locking arrangement comprising

• at least one axial groove provided in the outer envelope surface of the threaded shaft,
• a plurality of spaced apart threaded bores extending into the shaft nut from one of the two side faces,
• a locking plate having opposing sides separately disposeable against the shaft nut, a first end, a second end, an inwardly projecting portion disposable at least partially within the axial groove in the threaded shaft so as to prevent relative rotation between the shaft and the nut, and first and second elongated through-holes each having a width, the through-holes being generally aligned and spaced-apart so as to define an intermediate non-slotted material portion, the inwardly projecting portion of the locking plate being positioned non-symmetrically in relation to the intermediate non-slotted material portion, wherein the elongated through-holes of the locking plate are arranged to be in alignment with two adjacent threaded bores in the shaft nut,
• two bolts each having a head larger than the width of the elongated through-holes, each bolt being inserted through a separate one of the through-holes and screwed into one of the threaded bores in the shaft nut, and
• wherein the non-symmetrically positioned inwardly projecting portion of the locking plate enables adjustment of the locking plate along the length of the through-holes.
