48H497 - Walter Replacement Carbon Brush Set - 120V (Pair)

Maintain Peak Motor Efficiency with Genuine Walter Components

The Walter 48H497 Carbon Brush Set is a critical maintenance component designed for specific 120V Walter Surface Technologies power tools. Carbon brushes are the vital link in a universal motor, conducting current between stationary wires and the rotating armature. Over time, friction and electrical erosion wear these components down, leading to poor performance, sparking, or complete motor failure. This set provides a direct OEM replacement, ensuring that the material composition matches the specific requirements of Walter's high-performance motors.

Using the correct carbon grade is essential for the longevity of the tool's commutator. These brushes are engineered to provide stable electrical contact while minimizing friction and heat generation. They are rated for 120V operation and come as a pair, allowing technicians to replace both brushes simultaneously—a standard best practice to ensure balanced motor performance and even wear rates. Regular inspection and timely replacement of carbon brushes prevent damage to the armature, significantly extending the service life of your industrial equipment.

Technical Specifications & Compatibility

This kit includes two brushes, sufficient for one tool. They are pre-assembled with the necessary shunt wires and terminals for immediate installation. The 48H497 is designed to fit specific models within the Walter lineup; always verify the part number against your tool's exploded view diagram or service manual before installation to ensure compatibility.
