48Q268 - Walter 608-2RS Replacement Bearing for Power Tools

Genuine Walter Replacement Bearing for Industrial Power Tools

The Walter 48Q268 Ball Bearing (608-2RS) is a critical component designed to maintain the precision and performance of your high-end Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the demanding world of industrial metalworking, power tools are subjected to extreme conditions, including high rotational speeds, heat, and the constant ingress of conductive dust and abrasive particles. The 48Q268 is engineered to withstand these environments, ensuring your equipment operates at peak efficiency with minimal downtime.

This specific bearing utilizes the industry-standard 608 dimensions (8mm ID x 22mm OD x 7mm Width) but is manufactured to the strict quality control standards required by Walter. The "2RS" designation indicates that this bearing features two rubber seals—one on each side of the race. These seals are vital for abrasive applications; they effectively lock in the factory-applied lubricant while locking out metal shavings, grinding dust, and other contaminants that would otherwise destroy an open or shielded bearing in minutes. By using genuine OEM parts like the 48Q268, you ensure that the internal tolerances of your tool are respected, preventing runout and vibration that can affect finish quality.

Whether you are performing routine maintenance on a Line-Mate, a Big Buff, or one of Walter's angle grinders, replacing worn bearings is the first step in extending the tool's lifecycle. A failing bearing often manifests as excessive noise, heat generation near the spindle, or palpable vibration. Swapping in a fresh 48Q268 restores the smooth, quiet operation you expect from premium tools. This component is a direct replacement, ensuring a hassle-free installation process for maintenance personnel and tool repair technicians.

Investing in genuine replacement parts is an investment in safety and productivity. Generic bearings may lack the specific seal integrity or steel grade necessary for the high-torque, high-RPM applications typical of Walter tools. Ensure your fleet remains operational and safe by choosing the correct specification part.
