48J746 - Walter Surfox Replacement Ground Clamp

Optimized Grounding for Electrochemical Cleaning

The Walter Surface Technologies 48-J-746 Cable Clamp is a specialized ground clamp engineered specifically for the Surfox line of electrochemical weld cleaning systems. In the electrochemical cleaning process, establishing a solid, low-resistance electrical connection to the workpiece is paramount. This clamp completes the circuit, allowing the cleaning electrolyte and current to effectively remove heat tint, discoloration, and impurities from stainless steel welds while simultaneously promoting passivation.

Unlike standard welding ground clamps which are designed for high amperage thermal arcs, the Surfox ground clamp is optimized for the specific voltage and current characteristics of the Surfox cleaning units. It features contact points that ensure consistent energy flow, which is critical for achieving a uniform finish without burn marks or pitting. The clamp is built to resist the corrosive nature of the industrial environment, although care should be taken to keep the contact points clean from electrolyte residue to maintain peak performance.

This component is an essential accessory for maintaining the efficiency of your Surfox 104, 205, 305, or Mini system. A compromised ground connection can lead to slow cleaning speeds, sparking, and uneven passivation results. By utilizing the genuine Walter 48-J-746 clamp, operators ensure that their equipment functions within manufacturer specifications, delivering the high-quality, corrosion-resistant finish that Walter Surfox systems are known for.

Technical Compatibility

This clamp is designed to integrate seamlessly with the cable assemblies of standard Surfox machines. Its jaw opening and spring tension are calibrated to grip typical stainless steel sheet metal, tubing, and structural profiles securely without causing surface damage, while still biting through minor surface contaminants to establish electrical continuity.
