48S152 - Walter Replacement Hi-Lo Screw, Stainless Steel, #12 x 3/4 Inch

Precision Replacement Hardware for Walter Tools

The Walter 48S152 is a specialized #12 x 3/4 inch Hi-Lo Screw manufactured from high-grade stainless steel. Designed as a genuine OEM replacement part, this fastener is critical for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies' extensive line of abrasive systems and accessories. When operating high-performance grinding and finishing tools, the integrity of every component is paramount. This screw is typically utilized to secure backing pads and other attachments where vibration and stress are constant factors.

The "Hi-Lo" thread design is a key feature of this component. Unlike standard machine screws, Hi-Lo fasteners feature a double-lead thread form where one thread is higher than the other. This configuration is specifically engineered for use in plastics, nylon, and composite materials often found in the hubs of backing pads. The high thread provides a deep cut into the material for superior holding power and pull-out resistance, while the low thread provides stability and reduces the amount of material displaced, thereby minimizing the risk of cracking the boss or the accessory itself.

Constructed from stainless steel, the 48S152 offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. In industrial environments where moisture, coolants, and atmospheric contaminants are prevalent, using stainless hardware ensures that the fastener remains removable for future maintenance and does not degrade over time. Whether you are replacing a lost screw or performing preventative maintenance on your Walter abrasive tools, using genuine Walter parts guarantees the correct fit, finish, and mechanical performance required for safe operation.

Ensuring your equipment is fitted with the correct specifications is essential for safety and efficiency. A mismatched screw can lead to wobbling pads, poor finish quality, or even safety hazards if an accessory detaches at speed. Trust the Walter 48S152 to restore your equipment to its original factory specifications.
