48S174 - Walter OEM M5x25 Burnished Machine Screw - 48S174

Precision Engineering for Industrial Maintenance

The Walter Burnished Screw M5X25 (SKU: 48S174) is a specialized fastening component designed to meet the rigorous standards of Walter Surface Technologies equipment. In the realm of industrial maintenance and repair operations (MRO), the integrity of every connection point is critical. This screw features a standard metric M5 thread profile, precision-engineered to ensure a tight, vibration-resistant fit within its corresponding assembly. The 25mm length is specifically calibrated for the housing or structural component it is intended to secure, preventing issues associated with fasteners that are either too short to engage fully or too long to seat correctly.

One of the defining characteristics of this component is its burnished finish. Burnishing is a surface treatment process that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the fastener by giving it a dark, matte appearance but also provides functional benefits. The process typically hardens the surface slightly and reduces porosity, offering a degree of resistance against oxidation and corrosion in workshop environments. Furthermore, burnished surfaces often retain lubricants better than polished surfaces, which can facilitate easier installation and removal during maintenance cycles.

Using genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts like the 48S174 is essential for preserving the warranty and functionality of your high-performance tools. Generic hardware store screws may lack the specific tensile strength, shear resistance, or dimensional tolerance required by Walter's engineering specifications. Whether this screw is utilized in a Surfox weld cleaning system, a grinding unit, or another piece of Walter machinery, it plays a vital role in maintaining the structural rigidity and operational safety of the device.

This product is supplied as a single unit, allowing maintenance teams to order the exact quantity required for their repair logs without accumulating unnecessary inventory. It represents the reliability and quality assurance that professionals expect from the Walter brand.
