OVERVIEW

Maintain Compliance with Genuine Walter Replacement Parts

The Walter 48M642 Rating Plate is a critical component for maintaining the identity and compliance of your Walter Surface Technologies power equipment. In industrial environments, the rating plate serves as the primary source of technical information for operators and safety inspectors. It typically displays vital data such as the model number, serial number, voltage requirements, amperage, and rotational speed (RPM). Over time, exposure to abrasive dust, sparks, chemicals, and general wear can render these plates illegible, creating potential safety hazards and compliance issues during inspections.

This genuine OEM part ensures that your equipment remains identifiable and adheres to workplace safety standards. Unlike generic labels that may peel or fade under the stress of heavy-duty use, Walter's replacement rating plates are manufactured to the same high standards as the original components. They are designed to withstand the rigorous conditions of metalworking shops, including resistance to heat, oils, and cleaning solvents. Installing the correct rating plate is not just about aesthetics; it is a fundamental part of equipment maintenance that ensures any user picks up the tool knowing exactly what its capabilities and power requirements are.

When repairing or refurbishing Walter tools, using authentic parts like the 48M642 guarantees a perfect fit on the tool housing. This eliminates the need for makeshift labeling solutions that can look unprofessional and fail prematurely. Whether you are a maintenance manager ensuring fleet compliance or a repair technician refurbishing a unit, this rating plate provides the durability and clarity required for industrial power tools.
