48A051 - Walter Replacement Gearbox Housing for Big-Buff III and Line-Mate III

Precision Replacement for Walter Finishing Tools

The Walter 48A051 Gearbox Housing Complete is a critical OEM replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies' premium finishing tools. Engineered to the exact specifications of the original manufacturing process, this housing unit ensures the structural integrity of the tool's transmission system. It is primarily compatible with the Big-Buff III and Line-Mate III series, providing a seamless fit that restores the tool to factory standards.

Constructed from high-durability alloys, the gearbox housing serves as the protective shell for the internal gearing mechanisms. Over time, heavy industrial use can lead to wear, stress cracks, or thread damage in the housing, which can compromise gear alignment and lead to catastrophic tool failure. Replacing a damaged housing with this genuine Walter part ensures that bearings and gears remain perfectly aligned, reducing vibration, heat generation, and noise during operation. This component is essential for MRO professionals seeking to extend the lifecycle of their surface finishing equipment.

The "Complete" designation typically indicates that the housing is machined and ready for assembly, often including necessary mounting points or pressed inserts where applicable (verify specific sub-components in service manual). By utilizing genuine Walter parts, facilities maintain the safety certifications and performance ratings of their equipment. This part is identified by the internal SKU 48A051 and corresponds to the manufacturer part number 48-A-051.

Whether performing routine preventative maintenance or addressing a specific breakdown, the 48A051 offers the reliability expected from Walter products. It is designed to withstand the torque and thermal stresses associated with heavy-duty grinding, polishing, and graining applications common in metal fabrication and stainless steel finishing industries.
