OVERVIEW

Genuine Walter Replacement Retaining Ring

The Walter 48K303 Retaining Ring is a critical component designed to meet the rigorous standards of industrial maintenance and repair. Manufactured to the DIN 471 specification, this external retaining ring (often referred to as a circlip or snap ring) is engineered to fit securely into a groove on a shaft, preventing the lateral movement of components such as bearings, gears, or pulleys. The designation A10X1 indicates that this specific ring is sized for a 10mm diameter shaft, ensuring a precise fit that maintains the structural integrity of your equipment.

As a genuine spare part from Walter Surface Technologies, this retaining ring is manufactured from high-quality spring steel. This material choice provides the necessary elasticity to expand over the shaft during installation while retaining enough tension to snap firmly into the groove. Using OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts like the 48K303 is essential for maintaining the performance and safety of your Walter power tools, such as their line of grinders and surface finishing machines. Generic substitutes may not offer the same dimensional accuracy or material fatigue resistance, potentially leading to premature failure under high-vibration conditions common in industrial environments.

Installation of the DIN 471 retaining ring requires standard external snap ring pliers. The ring features two lug holes that allow the pliers to expand the ring safely for placement. Once seated, the ring acts as a robust shoulder, holding assemblies in place against axial forces. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or an emergency repair on a Walter tool, this retaining ring is the exact specification required to restore your equipment to factory working order.

FAQ

DIN 471 is a standard specification for external retaining rings (also known as circlips or snap rings) designed to be installed into a groove on a shaft to retain components.

The 48K303 is designated as A10X1, which means it is designed to fit a shaft with a diameter of 10mm.

Yes, you will typically need a pair of external snap ring pliers (circlip pliers) to expand the ring safely and place it into the shaft groove.

Yes, the 48K303 is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies for their equipment.

While it is possible, it is generally recommended to replace retaining rings during maintenance, as they can lose tension or deform during removal.

It is made of high-quality spring steel, which provides the necessary elasticity and strength for secure retention.

It fits 10mm shafts that have a groove machined specifically for a DIN 471 external retaining ring.
