48K622 - Walter M8 x 1.25 Nylon Insert Lock Nut

Secure Fastening with Walter 48K622 Nylock Nut

The Walter 48K622 Nylock Nut is a critical fastening component designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Featuring a precise M8 x 1.25 metric thread, this nut is engineered to provide a secure hold for various assemblies within Walter Surface Technologies' extensive line of power tools and abrasive accessories. The defining feature of this component is its nylon insert, which acts as a prevailing torque locking mechanism.

In heavy-duty applications, vibration is the enemy of standard fasteners. As tools operate at high RPMs, standard nuts can gradually loosen, leading to safety hazards or equipment damage. The 48K622 utilizes a durable nylon collar that sits at the top of the nut. When threaded onto a bolt or spindle, the nylon elastically deforms over the threads, creating significant radial force and friction. This friction prevents the nut from backing off, even under the constant oscillation and vibration typical of grinding, sanding, and finishing operations.

As a genuine OEM part, this Nylock nut ensures perfect compatibility with specified Walter equipment. Using non-standard or generic hardware can often lead to thread mismatch or insufficient locking capabilities. By choosing the 48K622, you ensure that your equipment remains safe, operational, and compliant with manufacturer specifications. It is an essential spare part for maintenance departments looking to minimize downtime caused by lost or worn hardware.
