OVERVIEW

Restoring Electrical Integrity and Operational Safety

The Walter 48-A-019 Switch is a critical component designed to maintain the operational integrity of specific Walter Surface Technologies power tools. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, this switch is engineered to the exact specifications required by Walter's high-performance motors. In industrial environments, the electrical switch serves as the primary interface between the operator and the machine's power source. Over time, the internal contacts of a switch can degrade due to arcing, thermal cycling, and mechanical wear. Replacing a faulty unit with the genuine 48-A-019 ensures that the tool's circuit is completed efficiently, without voltage drops or intermittent connectivity that can damage the motor windings.

This replacement component features a robust housing designed to withstand the vibration and physical stress inherent in grinding and cutting operations. The internal mechanism is calibrated to provide a distinct tactile response, ensuring the operator is always aware of the tool's state. Furthermore, using genuine Walter parts is essential for maintaining compliance with electrical safety standards. Generic switches may not possess the correct amperage rating or thermal resistance, leading to potential safety hazards such as overheating or short circuits. The 48-A-019 guarantees that the tool functions as originally intended by the engineering team at Walter.

Installation of the 48-A-019 is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with power tool repair. The terminals are designed for secure connection to the tool's internal wiring harness, minimizing the risk of loose connections that could lead to high resistance and heat generation. By choosing this OEM switch, facilities managers and repair technicians can extend the service life of their valuable Walter equipment, ensuring that production downtime is minimized and tool reliability is maximized. This part represents a commitment to quality and longevity in industrial equipment maintenance.

FAQ

This switch is designed for specific Walter Surface Technologies power tools, typically angle grinders. Please check your tool's parts diagram or manual to confirm the part number matches 48-A-019.

Yes, this is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part from Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring perfect fit and performance.

OEM switches are built to the specific amperage and voltage requirements of the tool's motor. Generic switches may fail prematurely or cause safety issues like overheating.

Yes, intermittent power is a common symptom of a failing switch. If the cord and brushes are in good condition, the switch contacts may be worn or dirty.

Typically, repair parts do not come with detailed instructions. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician referring to the tool's service manual.

Replacing a switch usually involves opening the tool's handle housing and swapping the wire connections. It is a standard repair for those comfortable with power tool maintenance.

Common signs include the tool not turning on, the tool staying on after the switch is released, or the tool requiring the switch to be wiggled to make contact.

It might. A grinder that won't start could have a bad switch, bad brushes, or a broken cord. Testing the switch with a multimeter can confirm if it is the culprit.
