This precision metal nut (part #520K23) is a genuine replacement component designed for the KUPA KP-55 (and compatible KP-series) nail-drill handpieces. It plays an essential role in securing internal assemblies or components, maintaining proper assembly integrity under high-speed rotation and preventing loosening or misalignment over time.

Installation Tips
- 
Verify that your handpiece’s existing nut dimensions and form match the listed specs (6.58 mm inner triangle size, 11.86 mm OD, 10.50 mm length). 
- 
Check that your particular handpiece variant (revision, model year) uses the part #520K23 — some version changes may alter certain component numbers. 
- 
Ensure the handpiece is unplugged and fully stopped before starting. 
- 
Disassemble to access the nut location (likely inside the spindle/rotor or housing assembly). 
- 
Remove the old nut, clean the threaded post and surrounding surfaces of any debris or old lubricant. 
- 
Thread in the new 520K23 nut, ensuring correct torque (tight enough to seat securely but avoid over-tightening). 
- 
Reassemble the handpiece and run it unloaded at low speed to check for smooth operation and no looseness or vibration.
