OVERVIEW

Secure Your Abrasives with the Walter Locking Washer

The Walter 48K130 Locking Washer is an essential replacement component designed to maintain the safety and efficiency of your angle grinding operations. In the world of metal fabrication and surface finishing, the integrity of your tool assembly is paramount. This locking washer is engineered specifically by Walter Surface Technologies to provide a secure interface between the grinder spindle, the backing pad, and the locking nut. By ensuring a tight fit, it prevents the loosening of abrasive accessories caused by vibration, high rotational speeds, or the torque generated during heavy grinding applications.

Using genuine Walter parts like the 48K130 ensures that your equipment operates as intended. Generic washers may not possess the correct dimensions or material hardness required to withstand the rigors of industrial use, potentially leading to equipment damage or operator injury. This washer is crafted from durable industrial-grade steel, capable of resisting deformation under the clamping pressure required to hold backing pads firmly in place. It is a small but critical investment in the longevity of your tools and the safety of your workshop environment.

Whether you are replacing a lost washer or performing routine maintenance on your fleet of grinders, the Walter 48K130 is the exact fit for compatible Walter systems. It integrates seamlessly with Walter's range of backing pads, ensuring that your abrasive discs run true and flat. This reduces wobble, improves the consistency of your finish, and extends the life of your consumables. Keep your operations running smoothly and safely with this genuine replacement part.

Key Benefits for Fabricators

Fabricators rely on consistent tool performance to meet production deadlines. A worn or missing locking washer can cause unnecessary downtime while operators search for a solution or, worse, attempt to use an ill-fitting substitute. Stocking the Walter 48K130 ensures that you are always prepared for maintenance needs, keeping your grinding stations active and your finish quality high.
