OVERVIEW

Precision Replacement for Industrial Finishing Tools

The Walter 48-A-016 Bearing Sleeve is a critical Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies' renowned power tools, most notably the Line-Mate III linear finishing system. In high-demand industrial environments, the precision of your equipment directly correlates to the quality of the finish produced. This bearing sleeve plays a vital role in the internal mechanics of the tool, acting as a precise interface between the spindle and the bearing assembly. By ensuring exact concentricity and alignment, it allows the tool to deliver the consistent, high-torque performance required for graining, polishing, and satin finishing tasks.

Manufactured to Walter's exacting engineering standards, this sleeve is crafted from durable, high-grade metal capable of withstanding the thermal and mechanical stresses associated with continuous industrial use. Over time, internal components can succumb to wear, leading to increased vibration, noise, or play in the spindle. Replacing a worn sleeve with this genuine part restores the tool's original stability, protecting the bearings and motor from premature failure. For MRO specialists and tool technicians, using genuine Walter parts guarantees compatibility and reliability, eliminating the guesswork associated with aftermarket generic replacements.

Proper maintenance of your abrasive power tools is essential for safety and efficiency. The 48-A-016 is engineered for a straightforward installation process, allowing maintenance teams to quickly service equipment and return it to the production line. Whether you are refurbishing an older unit or performing preventative maintenance, this bearing sleeve is an indispensable part of keeping your Walter Line-Mate system running at peak efficiency.

FAQ

This bearing sleeve is designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies power tools, primarily the Line-Mate III linear finishing system.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Walter, ensuring perfect fit and performance.

Common signs include excessive vibration, unusual noise coming from the spindle area, or noticeable play/wobble in the abrasive drum.

It is machined from high-quality metal alloy designed to withstand the mechanical stress and heat of industrial grinding applications.

Yes, if you are comfortable performing maintenance on power tools. However, we recommend following the tool's service manual or consulting a technician if unsure.

No, this item is the sleeve only. Bearings and other internal components are typically sold separately.

OEM parts maintain the tool's balance and safety ratings. Using non-standard parts can cause vibration that ruins surface finishes and damages the motor.

It should be replaced as needed based on wear. Regular inspection during brush changes or general maintenance will help determine if replacement is necessary.
