48S250 - Walter M4x12 Button Head Replacement Screw

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S250 Screw M4X12 Button Head is a critical OEM replacement component designed to maintain the structural integrity and operational safety of your Walter Surface Technologies equipment. In the demanding environments of industrial metalworking, power tools and finishing machines are subjected to high levels of vibration, thermal fluctuation, and mechanical stress. Even small fasteners like this M4x12 screw play a pivotal role in keeping housings secure, guards in place, and internal components aligned. Using genuine Walter parts ensures that the metallurgical properties and dimensional tolerances match the original specifications of the machine, preventing issues such as thread stripping, loosening over time, or galvanic corrosion that can occur with mismatched generic fasteners.

This specific fastener features a metric M4 thread profile with a 12mm length, a common configuration found in various assemblies within the Walter product lineup, potentially including angle grinders, linear finishers, or Surfox weld cleaning systems. The button head design offers a lower profile compared to standard cap screws, reducing the snag hazard on moving parts or operator clothing, while providing a broader bearing surface to distribute clamping force effectively. This is particularly important when securing sheet metal covers or plastic composite housings where point-loading could cause cracking.

Maintenance professionals understand that substituting specialized hardware with generic hardware store alternatives can lead to compromised tool performance. The 48S250 is manufactured to meet the specific tensile strength and hardness requirements deemed necessary by Walter's engineering team. Whether you are performing routine preventative maintenance or an emergency repair on the production line, having the correct OEM hardware ensures the repair is permanent and safe. This screw is sold individually, allowing MRO departments to order exactly the quantity needed for specific repairs or to restock crib inventory for future needs.

When installing this screw, it is recommended to clean the mating threads of any debris or old thread-locking compound. If the original specification calls for a thread locker, ensure the correct grade is applied to the 48S250 to prevent loosening due to the high-frequency vibrations typical of abrasive power tools. By choosing the Walter 48S250, you are investing in the longevity of your premium industrial equipment.
