OVERVIEW

Precision Engineering for Industrial Performance

The Walter 48Q255 Ball Bearing is a critical replacement component engineered to restore the optimal performance of your Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the realm of industrial surface finishing and metalworking, the precision of your equipment directly correlates to the quality of the finish produced. This genuine OEM bearing is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that the rotating assemblies within your tool maintain perfect concentricity. By minimizing runout and vibration, this bearing not only improves the user experience by reducing hand-arm vibration but also ensures a consistent finish on the workpiece.

Constructed from high-grade, hardened chrome steel, the 48Q255 is designed to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy-duty industrial environments. Bearings in angle grinders and finishing tools are subjected to high rotational speeds, significant radial and axial loads, and substantial thermal stress. This component features a robust cage design and premium rolling elements that distribute loads evenly, preventing premature wear and fatigue. The metallurgy is specifically selected to resist deformation under load, maintaining the structural integrity of the bearing throughout its service life.

One of the primary challenges in metalworking environments is the presence of conductive dust and abrasive particulate. The Walter 48Q255 is equipped with superior sealing technology designed to create an effective barrier against contaminants. This protection is vital for preventing the ingress of metal shavings and grinding dust, which can rapidly degrade the raceways of inferior bearings. Pre-packed with high-performance, high-temperature grease, this bearing requires no additional lubrication, simplifying maintenance procedures and ensuring reliable operation from the moment of installation. Trusting genuine Walter parts for your repairs guarantees compatibility and preserves the longevity of your valuable equipment.

FAQ

Common signs include excessive noise (grinding or squealing sounds), increased vibration during operation, the tool running hotter than usual, or the spindle feeling loose or gritty when turned by hand.

Yes, this genuine Walter bearing comes pre-packed with high-quality, high-temperature grease suitable for the operating speeds of power tools. No additional lubrication is required.

While generic bearings may fit dimensionally, they often lack the specific seal quality, internal clearance, and grease rating required for the high RPMs and dust exposure typical of Walter power tools. Using OEM parts ensures longevity.

This bearing is designed for specific Walter Surface Technologies power tools. Please consult your tool's schematic or parts diagram to confirm the part number matches 48Q255 before ordering.

Yes, the 48Q255 is designed with protective seals or shields to prevent the ingress of abrasive dust and metal particles, which is critical for tool longevity in metalworking environments.

Replacing a bearing usually requires disassembling the tool housing and may require a bearing puller to remove the old part. If you are comfortable with mechanical repairs, it is straightforward; otherwise, a service center is recommended.

OEM bearings are tested to handle the specific maximum RPM of the tool. A sub-standard bearing could fail catastrophically at high speeds, posing a safety risk to the operator.

If the vibration is caused by a worn or damaged bearing, yes. However, vibration can also be caused by unbalanced accessories or a bent spindle, so it is good to inspect those components as well.
