OVERVIEW

Restore Factory Performance with Genuine Walter Parts

The Walter 48H335 Gear Box is a critical replacement component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' line of premium finishing tools, including the renowned Big-Buff III and Line-Mate III series. In industrial environments, the gear box is the heart of the power transmission system, converting motor power into the high-torque rotation required for polishing, buffing, and graining applications. Over time, heavy use can lead to gear wear, bearing fatigue, or housing damage. This genuine OEM assembly allows maintenance teams to rebuild their valuable tools to factory specifications rather than replacing the entire unit.

Precision Engineering and Durability

Manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original equipment, this gear box assembly ensures seamless integration with the tool's motor and spindle. The housing is cast from a durable, heat-dissipating alloy that protects internal components from the thermal stress generated during long duty cycles. Inside, the precision-cut gears are designed to handle the specific load requirements of surface finishing, preventing the slippage and grinding noises often associated with worn components. Using genuine Walter parts guarantees that the tool maintains its rated RPM and torque, which is essential for achieving consistent surface finishes on stainless steel and other metals.

Cost-Effective Maintenance Solution

Investing in a replacement gear box is a smart maintenance strategy for fabrication shops and industrial facilities. The Big-Buff III and Line-Mate III are high-value assets; repairing them with the 48H335 assembly extends their service life significantly. This component comes pre-assembled for straightforward installation, minimizing downtime. By replacing a failing gear box promptly, operators can prevent collateral damage to the electric motor and ensure the safety of the user by eliminating excessive vibration and mechanical instability.

Compatibility and Application

This part is engineered for specific Walter models. It serves as the direct replacement for the head assembly on tools such as the Model 6265. It is essential for maintaining the variable speed capabilities and high-torque output that Walter tools are known for. Whether dealing with a seized bearing or stripped gears, this complete assembly provides a comprehensive fix, restoring the smooth, quiet operation expected from professional-grade equipment.

FAQ

The 48H335 is designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies finishing tools, most notably the Big-Buff III (Model 6265) and potentially the Line-Mate III. Always check your tool's parts diagram to confirm fitment.

Yes, genuine Walter gear box assemblies typically come pre-greased with the appropriate high-temperature lubricant for immediate installation and use.

Signs of a failing gear box include loud grinding or crunching noises during operation, the spindle stopping while the motor continues to run (slippage), excessive heat buildup in the head, or severe vibration.

This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part from Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring the exact specifications and quality of the original component.

While individual gears may sometimes be available, replacing the entire gear box assembly (48H335) is often recommended as it ensures all wear components (bearings, seals, housing) are renewed simultaneously for maximum reliability.

Most gear box assemblies include the housing and internal mechanism. Refer to the specific product image or diagram, but typically the spindle lock mechanism is integrated into the housing casting.

The housing is constructed from a durable cast metal alloy, designed to provide structural rigidity and dissipate heat generated by the gears and bearings.

No, if the tool does not turn on at all, the issue is likely electrical (brushes, switch, or cord). The gear box fixes mechanical drive issues where the motor runs but the head doesn't spin correctly or makes noise.
