48S198 - Walter M5x16 Socket Cap Screw Replacement Part

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S198 Screw M5X16 Cap Hd is a critical original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the world of industrial surface finishing, the integrity of your equipment is paramount. Walter tools are engineered for high performance, durability, and safety, and every fastener plays a role in maintaining those standards. This specific screw features an M5 thread pitch and a 16mm length, a common configuration used in securing housings, guards, and handle assemblies on units such as the Line-Mate III and other finishing tools.

Using genuine Walter parts like the 48S198 ensures that the mechanical properties of the fastener match the engineering requirements of the tool. Generic screws from a hardware bin may lack the specific tensile strength or finish required to withstand the high-frequency vibrations associated with industrial grinding and finishing. A socket cap head design is utilized here to allow for secure tightening with a hex key, providing a flush or recessed fit that prevents snagging during operation. This attention to detail helps prevent the loosening of components over time, which is essential for operator safety and tool longevity.

Maintenance teams and shop managers understand that downtime costs money. When a tool is out of commission due to a lost or stripped screw, having the correct part number 48S198 on hand allows for an immediate and correct repair. This screw is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring it threads smoothly into the tool's body without damaging the internal threads of the casting. Whether you are performing a scheduled overhaul of your shop's Walter fleet or replacing a fastener lost during a field repair, relying on genuine OEM parts is the best practice for preserving the warranty and performance of your investment.

This product is sold individually, allowing you to order the exact quantity needed for your repair inventory. We recommend checking your tool's specific parts diagram to confirm compatibility, as Walter utilizes high-quality fasteners across a range of their premium power tools.
