48L006 - Walter 48-L-006 Replacement Armature for Big Buff III & Line-Mate III (120V)

Restore Factory Precision with the Walter 48-L-006 Armature

The Walter 48-L-006 Armature is the critical rotating component at the heart of your Walter Surface Technologies finishing tools. Designed specifically for the 120V versions of the Big Buff III and Line-Mate III, this OEM replacement part is engineered to the exact specifications required to maintain the high torque and consistent speed these tools are known for. When an armature fails—often due to overheating, brush wear, or prolonged heavy use—the tool loses power, sparks excessively, or ceases to function entirely. Replacing it with a genuine Walter component is the only way to guarantee the tool returns to its original operational standards.

Constructed with high-grade copper windings and a precision-machined commutator, this armature is balanced to minimize vibration. In surface finishing applications, where the Line-Mate III and Big Buff III excel, vibration control is essential for achieving uniform scratch patterns and preventing operator fatigue. A poorly balanced aftermarket armature can lead to chatter marks on the workpiece and accelerated wear on the bearings and housing. The 48-L-006 ensures that the rotational dynamics of the motor remain smooth and efficient.

This assembly typically includes the cooling fan, which is vital for dissipating heat generated during the long duty cycles common in industrial metal finishing. By maintaining proper airflow, the armature protects the field coil and brushes from thermal damage. Whether you are repairing a tool used for stainless steel polishing or heavy-duty cleaning, installing the correct armature is a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire machine, extending the service life of your investment significantly.

Professional repair technicians understand that the armature is the engine's powerhouse. This unit is drop-in ready for compatible 120V models, ensuring a straightforward repair process that minimizes downtime in the workshop.
