48K169 - Walter Replacement Clamping Nut for Backing Pads

Secure Your Abrasives with the Walter 48K169 Nut

In the world of industrial metalworking, the smallest components often play the most critical roles in safety and performance. The Walter Surface Technologies 48K169 Nut is a genuine replacement clamping nut designed specifically for use with Walter's extensive line of abrasive backing pads and surface finishing systems. When operating high-speed angle grinders, ensuring that your sanding discs, flap wheels, or conditioning discs are securely fastened is paramount to preventing accidents and achieving a consistent finish.

Manufactured to Walter's exacting standards, this nut provides the precise thread fit and clamping pressure required to hold backing pads firmly in place without slipping. Unlike generic hardware that may suffer from poor tolerances or soft metals, the 48K169 is built to withstand the torque and vibration inherent in heavy-duty grinding and finishing applications. Whether you are replacing a lost nut or stocking up on spares for your tool crib, this component ensures your equipment remains operational and safe.

Using genuine Walter parts like the 48K169 helps maintain the balance of your rotating assembly. An unbalanced backing pad can lead to excessive vibration, which not only fatigues the operator but can also cause premature wear on the grinder's bearings and the abrasive media itself. By choosing the correct OEM nut, you ensure that your Quick-Step or standard backing pad systems perform exactly as intended, delivering the smooth, high-quality results Walter is known for.
