OVERVIEW

Precision Engineering for Power Tool Maintenance

The Walter 48E022 Gear Flange is a critical replacement component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies angle grinders. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, this flange is engineered to meet the exact tolerances and material specifications required for high-performance industrial grinding. The gear flange, often referred to as the inner flange or backing flange, serves as the primary interface between the grinder's spindle and the abrasive accessory. Its role is pivotal in ensuring that grinding wheels, cutting discs, and flap discs are seated squarely and securely against the tool's drive mechanism.

Constructed from high-grade hardened steel, the 48E022 is built to withstand the intense torque and thermal stresses generated during heavy-duty fabrication tasks. A worn or damaged flange can lead to wheel imbalance, excessive vibration, and potentially catastrophic accessory failure. By replacing a compromised flange with this genuine Walter component, operators can maintain the structural integrity of the tool assembly, ensuring that the abrasive media rotates on a true axis. This not only prolongs the life of the grinder's bearings and gears but also significantly enhances operator safety by reducing the risk of wheel slippage or disintegration.

Maintenance professionals and tool crib managers understand that using non-standard or generic hardware on precision power tools can compromise performance. The Walter 48E022 ensures full compatibility with the specific spindle designs of Walter grinders, providing the correct spacing and friction surface required for optimal torque transmission. Whether performing routine maintenance or repairing a tool after long-term service, this gear flange is the definitive solution for restoring your equipment to factory standards.

Technical Reliability

In industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, the reliability of every tool component is paramount. This flange features a precision-machined profile that keys perfectly onto the spindle gear, preventing rotational play. It is an essential stock item for MRO departments supporting metalworking operations that rely on Walter's superior line of power tools.

FAQ

The gear flange, or inner flange, sits on the grinder spindle behind the wheel. It provides a flat, secure backing surface for the abrasive accessory to rest against, ensuring it spins true and stays locked in place.

No, this part is specifically designed for select Walter Surface Technologies angle grinders. While some spindles are standard, flange designs can vary by manufacturer. It is best to use this with the intended Walter models.

Inspect the flange for signs of wear, such as grooves, nicks, or deformation on the face that touches the wheel. If the flange is not perfectly flat or if the mounting hole is elongated, it should be replaced immediately to prevent vibration and safety hazards.

No, the 48E022 is typically just the inner gear flange. The outer clamping nut is usually sold separately.

It is manufactured from hardened steel to resist wear and deformation under high torque and clamping pressure.

Yes, this inner flange is generally used as the backing for various abrasive accessories, including grinding wheels, cutting discs, and flap discs, provided they are compatible with the grinder.

Yes, this is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part from Walter Surface Technologies.

Using genuine parts ensures the correct fit and balance. An ill-fitting aftermarket flange can cause dangerous vibrations or allow the wheel to slip during operation.
