48H317 - Walter Mag Drill Cable Chain Mount

Genuine Walter Replacement Component

The Walter 48H317 Cable Chain Attachment is a critical replacement component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' line of high-performance magnetic drilling units. In the demanding environment of industrial metalworking, the integrity of equipment cabling is paramount for both safety and operational efficiency. This attachment point serves as the anchor for the cable chain (or drag chain), which guides and protects the power cables as the drill motor moves vertically along its track.

Constructed to meet the rigorous OEM specifications of Walter equipment, this part ensures a precise fit that generic alternatives cannot guarantee. When a cable chain attachment becomes damaged or loose, it compromises the cable management system, leading to potential cable pinching, abrasion, or entanglement with the workpiece. By replacing a worn attachment with the 48H317, maintenance teams can restore the machine to its original factory safety standards.

This component is engineered to withstand the vibration and mechanical stress typical of heavy-duty drilling operations. It integrates seamlessly with the housing of compatible ICECUT units, ensuring that the energy chain rolls smoothly without binding. For MRO professionals and tool crib managers, stocking genuine Walter parts like the 48H317 is essential for minimizing downtime and extending the service life of valuable magnetic drilling assets.

Technical Application

The attachment is primarily used to secure the stationary end of the cable carrier system to the drill body. This allows the moving end to travel with the motor head while maintaining a controlled bend radius for the electrical cables, preventing fatigue and breakage.
