OVERVIEW

Restore Peak Performance with the Walter 48H487 Armature

When your industrial power tools begin to lose torque, spark excessively, or fail to start, the heart of the motor—the armature—is often the culprit. The Walter 48H487 Armature 110V is the genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed specifically for compatible Walter Surface Technologies power tools. Engineered to the exact specifications of your original machine, this armature ensures that your equipment operates with the precision and power you rely on for heavy-duty surface finishing tasks.

The armature is the rotating component of your universal motor, responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical motion. Over time, the commutator bars can wear down from friction with carbon brushes, or the windings can suffer from heat stress and insulation breakdown. Installing a genuine Walter 48H487 ensures that you are replacing this critical component with a unit that features high-grade copper windings and superior insulation varnish. This robust construction protects the electrical integrity of the motor against the conductive dust and debris common in metalworking environments.

Precision balancing is a hallmark of Walter engineering. A poorly balanced aftermarket armature can cause excessive vibration, which not only ruins the surface finish of your workpiece but also accelerates wear on bearings and the tool housing. This OEM armature comes factory-balanced to minimize vibration, providing a smooth operation that reduces operator fatigue during extended use. It includes the integrated cooling fan and commutator, making it a direct-fit solution for your repair bench.

Key Benefits for Maintenance Teams:

  • Direct Fit: Guaranteed compatibility with specific Walter 110V tools, eliminating the guesswork of generic parts.
  • Durability: Heavy-duty construction withstands the thermal loads of continuous industrial grinding and finishing.
  • Cost-Effective: Repairing your high-end Walter tool is significantly more economical than replacing the entire unit.

Keep your production line moving and your tools in top condition. Trust Josef Gas for your genuine Walter replacement parts and get your Big Buff or Line-Mate tools back in action quickly.

FAQ

This armature is designed for specific Walter Surface Technologies 110V tools, commonly including the Big Buff III and Line-Mate III series. Please verify your tool's model number and parts diagram to ensure fitment.

Typically, the 48H487 is supplied as the armature unit with the fan and commutator. Bearings are usually sold separately. It is recommended to check your existing bearings during replacement.

Common signs include excessive sparking at the brushes, a burning smell, smoke, or the tool failing to turn on. You can also test the commutator bars for continuity using a multimeter.

The 48H487 is rated for 110V/120V tools. It is not compatible with 220V European or high-voltage industrial models.

Yes, it is highly recommended to install new carbon brushes when replacing an armature. Old brushes may have uneven wear patterns that can damage the new commutator.

This is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part from Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring the highest quality and exact fit.

Installation requires disassembling the power tool housing. While possible for those with mechanical experience, we recommend installation by a qualified tool repair technician to ensure safety.
