OVERVIEW

Precision Arbor Adaptation for Industrial Safety

The Walter 40mm to 1-1/2" Bushing (SKU: 10A992) is an essential accessory for metalworking professionals who require flexibility in their abrasive inventory. In the industrial cutting and grinding sector, equipment compatibility is paramount. Often, high-performance abrasive wheels are manufactured with metric arbor sizes, such as 40mm, which may not immediately fit legacy or specific imperial-sized stationary cut-off machines equipped with 1-1/2 inch spindles. This precision-engineered bushing bridges that gap, ensuring that your operations are not halted by simple dimensional incompatibilities.

Safety and performance in abrasive cutting rely heavily on the concentricity of the wheel relative to the machine spindle. A loose or improper fit can lead to dangerous vibrations, wheel chatter, and even catastrophic wheel failure. The Walter 10A992 is manufactured to tight tolerances to provide a snug, secure interface between the wheel and the machine shaft. By effectively reducing the arbor size from 40mm to 1-1/2 inches, it ensures the wheel remains perfectly centered during rotation. This centering is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of the wheel at high RPMs and for delivering smooth, precise cuts.

Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this bushing is built to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy-duty environments. Whether used in structural steel fabrication, rail cutting, or general manufacturing, this adapter allows shops to standardize their wheel stock or utilize specific high-performance wheels regardless of their machine's native spindle size. It is a simple yet vital component for maintaining shop efficiency and operator safety.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Vibration Reduction: Eliminates play between the arbor and spindle, reducing machine wear and operator fatigue.
  • Universal Compatibility: Opens up a wider range of abrasive wheel options for machines with 1-1/2" shafts.
  • Durability: Constructed from high-quality materials resistant to compression and heat generated during cutting.

FAQ

This bushing converts a 40mm outer diameter (wheel arbor) to a 1-1/2 inch inner diameter (machine spindle).

No, this bushing is typically designed for stationary cut-off machines or bench grinders with 1-1/2 inch shafts. Handheld grinders usually have much smaller spindles (e.g., 5/8"-11 or 7/8").

Yes, the bushing is reusable. However, it should be inspected for wear or deformation during every wheel change to ensure a safe fit.

Walter bushings are typically made from durable industrial-grade materials designed to withstand the compression and torque of tightening the flange without deforming.

No, the bushing is precision-manufactured to ensure the wheel remains perfectly centered, which actually helps prevent wobble and vibration.

No, the bushing is a friction fit. It simply slides into the wheel's arbor hole and is held in place by the machine's mounting flanges.

Yes, as long as the abrasive wheel has a 40mm arbor hole and the machine has a 1-1/2 inch spindle, this bushing will work regardless of the wheel brand.

Abrasive wheels are manufactured globally. 40mm is a common metric standard, while 1-1/2 inch is a common imperial spindle size. This adapter bridges the two standards.
