48K119 - Walter 19mm x 26mm x 0.3mm Spacer Shim Washer

Precision Spacing for Professional Finishing Tools

The Walter 48K119 Washer is a specialized component designed to maintain the high-performance standards of Walter Surface Technologies' power tools. Measuring 19mm x 26mm x 0.3mm, this washer serves as a critical spacer or shim within the assembly of abrasive drums and wheels. In the world of industrial metal finishing, precision is paramount. Even the slightest gap or misalignment on an arbor can lead to vibration, chatter marks on the workpiece, or premature wear of the tool's bearings. This washer is engineered to eliminate those risks by providing a tight, secure fit.

With an inner diameter of 19mm, it is sized perfectly for metric shafts commonly found on linear finishing tools like the Walter Line-Mate series. The 0.3mm thickness is particularly notable; it classifies this component as a shim washer, allowing operators to make fine adjustments to the spacing of wheels or to compensate for wear in the locking mechanism. Unlike generic hardware store washers, which may vary in thickness or flatness, the Walter 48K119 is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure the rotating assembly remains perfectly balanced.

Using genuine replacement parts is essential for the longevity of your equipment. A washer might seem like a minor accessory, but it plays a pivotal role in the transfer of power from the motor to the abrasive media. A properly seated washer ensures that the clamping force is distributed evenly across the face of the abrasive hub, preventing slippage during heavy load applications. Whether you are performing maintenance on your existing fleet of tools or replacing a lost component during a wheel change, this washer restores the factory-original fit and function.

Professionals in metal fabrication, stainless steel finishing, and industrial maintenance rely on Walter tools for their durability and finish quality. By utilizing the correct 48K119 washer, you ensure that your tool continues to operate smoothly, protecting both the operator from excessive vibration and the workpiece from inconsistent finishes. This part is a testament to Walter's commitment to quality down to the smallest detail.
