48S170 - Walter Replacement Socket Head Cap Screw M6 x 16mm DIN 912

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S170 is a specialized M6 x 16mm Socket Head Cap Screw, manufactured strictly to DIN 912 standards. In the realm of industrial equipment maintenance, the integrity of every fastener plays a critical role in the overall performance and safety of the machine. While fasteners may appear generic, genuine OEM parts like the 48S170 are selected by Walter Surface Technologies to meet specific tensile strength and dimensional tolerance requirements necessary for their high-performance tools and finishing systems.

This screw features a cylindrical head with a hexagonal socket drive, designed to be tightened with a hex key (Allen wrench). The DIN 912 specification ensures that the head height and diameter are consistent, allowing it to fit perfectly into counterbored holes often found on Walter equipment housings and guards. Using a screw with incorrect head dimensions or lower grade steel can lead to protrusion that interferes with operation or premature failure under the high-vibration conditions typical of grinding and finishing tasks.

Maintenance professionals understand that using the correct replacement hardware is essential for preserving the warranty and longevity of capital equipment. The M6 thread pitch is precision-rolled to ensure a tight, secure engagement with the mating component, preventing loosening over time. Whether you are replacing a worn fastener during routine service or reassembling a unit after a repair, the 48S170 provides the reliability expected from Walter products.

Key Technical Aspects:

• Standard Compliance: Adheres to DIN 912 (ISO 4762) for geometric consistency.


• Drive System: Internal hex drive allows for high torque application without cam-out.


• Application: Specifically sourced for Walter surface finishing and welding support equipment.
