OVERVIEW

Genuine Walter Surface Technologies 48-K-612 Circlip

The Walter Surface Technologies 48K612 Circlip is a critical Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component designed for the maintenance and repair of Walter industrial power tools. As a retaining ring, this component plays a vital role in the mechanical assembly of the tool, serving to hold components such as bearings, gears, or shafts securely in place along an axis. Manufactured to precise tolerances, this circlip ensures that internal mechanisms remain aligned during the high-vibration and high-speed operation characteristic of industrial grinding and finishing equipment.

Constructed from high-quality spring steel, the 48-K-612 offers the necessary tensile strength and elasticity to maintain its grip over time. Inferior or mismatched retaining rings can deform under load, leading to catastrophic disassembly of the tool's internal workings. By utilizing the genuine Walter part, maintenance professionals ensure that the tool continues to operate within its specified safety parameters. The material is typically treated to resist corrosion and wear, extending the service life of the repair and reducing the frequency of maintenance intervals.

Proper installation of the circlip is essential for the longevity of the power tool. It is designed to fit into a machined groove on a shaft or in a bore, transferring axial loads from the retained part to the groove wall. This specific part number, 48-K-612, is engineered to match the exact groove dimensions of compatible Walter tools, preventing play or 'slop' in the assembly which could lead to gear mesh failure or bearing runout. When servicing Walter equipment, adherence to the manufacturer's parts list is crucial for preserving the tool's performance and warranty status.

Industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) specialists recognize the importance of using authentic parts for power tools used in heavy-duty applications. The Walter 48K612 Circlip represents the brand's commitment to quality and durability down to the smallest fastener. Whether performing a routine bearing change or a comprehensive tool overhaul, this retaining ring provides the security and reliability required for professional-grade equipment.

FAQ

The 48K612 Circlip acts as a retaining ring, holding components like bearings or gears securely in place on a shaft or within a bore to prevent axial movement.

Yes, this is an authentic OEM part manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring compatibility and quality.

You should consult the exploded view parts diagram or the owner's manual for your specific Walter tool model. Look for part number 48-K-612.

It is typically manufactured from high-grade spring steel, which allows it to flex for installation and then return to its original shape to provide retention.

While it depends on the specific location, circlips generally require a pair of snap ring pliers (internal or external depending on the design) for safe and easy installation.

It is generally recommended to replace circlips during maintenance, as removing them can over-stretch or deform the metal, reducing their holding power.

OEM circlips are designed with the exact thickness and diameter required for the tool's groove, ensuring the assembly remains tight and balanced at high speeds.
