48A029 - Walter Replacement Shim 12.2mm x 22.0mm x 0.1mm

Precision Maintenance for Walter Power Tools

The Walter 48A029 Disc Shim is a critical component designed for the precise maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the world of high-performance industrial grinding and finishing, the longevity of a tool often comes down to the smallest details. This shim, measuring 12.2mm in inner diameter, 22.0mm in outer diameter, and a mere 0.1mm in thickness, plays a vital role in managing axial clearance within the tool's assembly.

When servicing gearboxes, spindles, or armature assemblies, achieving the correct tolerance is essential to prevent vibration, heat buildup, and premature bearing failure. A shim of this specific dimension is typically used to take up slack on a shaft, ensuring that gears mesh correctly and bearings are seated without excessive play. Using non-OEM washers or generic shims that do not match these precise specifications can lead to mechanical instability, reducing the efficiency of the tool and potentially causing safety hazards during operation.

Manufactured from high-quality steel, this shim is stamped to exact tolerances to ensure a perfect fit on 12mm shafts commonly found in Walter's line of grinders and finishing tools. Its 0.1mm thickness allows technicians to fine-tune the assembly stack-up with high resolution, adding just enough spacing to eliminate wobble without binding the mechanism. Whether you are performing a routine bearing replacement or a complete tool overhaul, integrating genuine Walter parts like the 48A029 ensures that the equipment returns to its original factory performance levels.

Professional repair centers and industrial maintenance teams rely on genuine components to guarantee the reliability of their fleet. This shim is not merely a washer; it is an engineered spacer that supports the structural integrity of the tool's rotating elements. Ensure your Walter tools continue to deliver the heavy-duty performance they are known for by using only specified replacement parts.
