48H493 - Walter Surfox Replacement Wand Cable 4m

Technical Overview of the Walter 48-H-493 Lead Wire

The Walter Surface Technologies 48-H-493 is a specialized replacement lead wire engineered for the Surfox series of electrochemical weld cleaning systems. As a critical component in the passivation process, this cable connects the main power unit to the cleaning wand, delivering the precise electrical current required to remove heat tint and passivate stainless steel surfaces effectively. The integrity of this connection is paramount; a compromised cable can lead to voltage drops, inconsistent cleaning results, or safety hazards in the workplace.

Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the 48-H-493 features a chemically resistant outer jacket designed to withstand exposure to the acidic electrolyte solutions (such as Surfox-T and Surfox-G) commonly used in the cleaning process. This resistance prevents premature degradation of the insulation, ensuring a long service life even in harsh production environments. The internal conductors are sized to handle the amperage output of Surfox machines without overheating, maintaining optimal energy transfer to the workpiece.

At a length of 4 meters (approximately 13 feet), this lead wire provides significant operational flexibility. Operators can navigate around large assemblies and complex structures without constantly repositioning the base unit. The connectors are precision-molded to fit securely into Surfox terminals, preventing accidental disconnection during use. Regular inspection and replacement of the lead wire are recommended to maintain the system's electrical safety standards and performance efficiency. This component is compatible with various models in the Surfox lineup, making it a versatile spare part for maintenance departments.
