OVERVIEW

Restore Precision with the Walter 48M415 Complete Gear Housing

In the realm of high-performance industrial power tools, the integrity of every component is paramount to maintaining efficiency and safety. The Walter 48M415 Complete Gear Housing is a genuine OEM replacement component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies angle grinders. This housing serves as the critical structural backbone for the tool's transmission system, encasing the bevel gears and supporting the spindle bearings. Manufactured to Walter's exacting standards, this part ensures that your tool continues to operate with the precision and reliability expected from a premium brand.

The gear housing is engineered from a robust metal alloy, chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. Effective heat dissipation is essential in angle grinders, as the friction generated by high-speed gearing can lead to overheating if not properly managed. The 48M415 housing acts as a heat sink, pulling thermal energy away from the gears and bearings to prolong the lifespan of the internal mechanics. Furthermore, the precision casting ensures that the armature pinion and the spindle gear mesh at the exact intended angle. Even a minor deviation in housing geometry—caused by cracks or warping from drops—can lead to stripped gears, excessive vibration, and catastrophic tool failure. Replacing a damaged housing with this genuine part restores the original factory alignment.

Maintenance professionals understand that using non-OEM parts for housing replacements can compromise the safety features of the tool. The Walter 48M415 is designed to interface perfectly with the tool's safety guard and side handle, ensuring that these critical safety devices remain securely attached during operation. Whether you are refurbishing a fleet of grinders in a heavy fabrication shop or repairing a single unit, opting for the 48M415 Complete Gear Housing guarantees that the tool's ergonomics, balance, and performance characteristics remain unaltered.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

This assembly is supplied as a complete housing unit, ready for the transfer of internal components. It is compatible with specific models within the Walter grinder lineup.
