48L552 - Walter Line-Mate III Replacement Bearing Flange

Precision Replacement for Linear Finishing Systems

The Walter Bearing Flange (SKU: 48L552) is a critical OEM replacement component engineered specifically for the Walter Line-Mate III linear finishing system. In the realm of industrial surface finishing, the integrity of the tool's mechanical assembly is paramount to achieving consistent, high-quality results. This bearing flange serves as the primary interface for securing abrasive drums, flap wheels, and conditioning discs to the tool's drive spindle. Manufactured to Walter's exacting tolerances, this flange ensures that the abrasive media remains perfectly centered and balanced during operation.

When operating high-torque linear finishing tools, even minor deviations in concentricity can lead to vibration, chatter marks on the workpiece, and premature wear of the tool's internal bearings. The 48L552 flange is precision-machined from high-grade steel to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses associated with continuous industrial use. It provides the necessary clamping force to prevent slippage of the abrasive media, ensuring that the torque from the motor is efficiently transferred to the work surface. This is particularly important when working with heavy-duty non-woven drums or large flap wheels that generate significant resistance.

Maintenance professionals and tool crib managers understand that using genuine replacement parts is essential for preserving the warranty and longevity of premium power tools. This bearing flange is not a generic universal part; it is designed to mate perfectly with the specific arbor and keyway configuration of the Line-Mate III. By replacing a worn or damaged flange with this genuine Walter component, operators can restore their equipment to factory specifications, ensuring safe operation and optimal finish quality on stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals.

Whether you are repairing a tool that has seen years of service or stocking critical spares to minimize downtime, the Walter 48L552 Bearing Flange is an indispensable item. It represents the quality and reliability that professionals expect from Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring that your linear finishing operations continue to run smoothly and efficiently.
