48L262 - Walter 48-L 262 Field Coil Stator 120V for Big Buff III

Restore Precision Performance with Genuine Walter Parts

The Walter Field Coil Assembly, 120V (SKU: 48L262) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies power tools, most notably the Big Buff III finishing tool. As the stationary component of the universal motor (the stator), the field coil is responsible for generating the magnetic field required to interact with the armature, producing the torque and speed necessary for heavy-duty industrial applications. Over time, heat, vibration, and electrical stress can degrade the insulation or windings of a field coil, leading to reduced power, excessive sparking, or complete motor failure.

This genuine OEM part ensures that your equipment operates within its original design specifications. Unlike generic replacements that may suffer from poor winding density or inferior insulation materials, the Walter 48L262 is built to withstand the rigorous demands of metal finishing and surface preparation environments. It features high-grade copper wiring and robust insulation varnish to resist shorting and overheating, extending the lifecycle of your tool after repair.

Technical Significance of the Field Coil

In a series-wound universal motor, the field coil is electrically connected in series with the armature. A compromised field coil can cause an imbalance in the magnetic circuit, often resulting in the rapid wear of carbon brushes and damage to the commutator. Replacing a faulty field coil with this authentic 120V assembly not only restores power but also protects the other expensive components of the motor's drivetrain. It is an essential investment for maintenance departments looking to prolong the service life of their high-performance Walter tools.

Installation and Compatibility

Designed for a seamless fit, this assembly aligns perfectly with the motor housing of the Big Buff III, ensuring proper airflow and cooling. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct wiring polarity and secure seating within the tool housing.
