48S194 - Walter M5 x 12mm Button Head Replacement Screw

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S194 Screw M5X12 Button Head is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies equipment. In the world of high-performance industrial tools, every component plays a vital role in the overall functionality and safety of the machine. Using genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts like this screw ensures that your equipment continues to operate at the high standards set by Walter. Whether you are repairing a surface finishing tool, a grinder, or a specialized Surfox cleaning unit, ensuring you have the correct fasteners is the first step in a successful repair.

Precision Engineering and Fit

This fastener features a standard M5 metric thread with a length of 12mm. The precision machining of the threads ensures a tight, secure fit that resists loosening under the vibration and stress typical of industrial power tools. Mismatched or generic screws can often have slight tolerance variances that lead to thread stripping or insufficient clamping force. By choosing the 48S194, you are guaranteeing that the thread pitch and diameter match the receiving hole perfectly, preserving the integrity of your expensive equipment's housing or internal components.

Button Head Design Advantages

The button head configuration of this screw is chosen for specific design reasons. Unlike standard hex bolts or socket caps which may protrude significantly, a button head offers a lower profile with a rounded top. This is particularly important in handheld power tools and machinery where external snag points must be minimized for operator safety and comfort. The rounded aesthetic also provides a clean, finished look to the assembly. Typically driven by a hex key (Allen wrench) or Torx driver, this head style allows for sufficient torque application while maintaining a streamlined surface.

Maintenance and Longevity

Regular maintenance of industrial equipment often involves checking for loose or missing hardware. A single missing screw can lead to housing misalignment, increased vibration, and eventually, more serious mechanical failures. Keeping a stock of essential replacement parts like the Walter 48S194 ensures that downtime is minimized. When a screw is lost during a busy shift or stripped during a repair attempt, having the exact OEM replacement on hand allows technicians to restore the tool to full working order immediately. This screw is manufactured to meet Walter's rigorous durability standards, ensuring it withstands the harsh environments of metalworking shops.
