48S161 - Walter Replacement Screw M4 x 20mm

Walter 48S161 Replacement Screw M4X20 Overview

The Walter 48S161 is a specialized replacement screw designed to meet the rigorous standards of Walter Surface Technologies industrial equipment. As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, this screw is engineered to provide the exact fit and function required for maintaining the performance and safety of your Walter power tools and machinery. In the world of industrial maintenance, using the correct fasteners is critical; even a small deviation in thread pitch, material strength, or head geometry can lead to tool failure, vibration issues, or compromised safety guards.

This specific fastener features a standard metric M4 thread profile, a common size utilized in precision engineering and compact power tool assemblies. With a length of 20mm, it is sized to penetrate deep enough to secure components firmly without protruding excessively or interfering with internal moving parts. The manufacturing process ensures that the threads are cleanly cut and precise, allowing for smooth installation and removal during maintenance intervals. This attention to detail prevents cross-threading and damage to the receiving tapped holes, which can be costly to repair in cast metal tool housings.

Professionals in metalworking and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) rely on Walter Surface Technologies for high-performance abrasives and power tools. To keep these tools operating at peak efficiency, it is essential to replace worn or lost hardware with authentic parts. The 48S161 Screw M4X20 is typically used to secure housing casings, safety guards, handles, or internal assemblies within Walter's range of grinders, drills, or finishing tools. By choosing this genuine part, you ensure that the tensile strength and shear resistance of the fastener match the original engineering specifications of the device.

When performing repairs, it is recommended to inspect all surrounding hardware. If one screw has loosened or sheared, others may be under increased stress. Replacing lost hardware immediately with the 48S161 ensures that the structural integrity of your equipment is maintained, reducing vibration and noise while prolonging the lifespan of the tool.
