48S179 - Walter M5x8 Flange Head Screw Replacement Part

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S179 Screw M5X8 With Flange is a critical component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies equipment. When operating high-performance industrial tools, such as magnetic drills, grinders, or finishing systems, every component plays a vital role in the machine's overall stability and safety. Using genuine OEM parts like this M5x8 screw ensures that your equipment remains within the manufacturer's original specifications, guaranteeing optimal performance and longevity.

This fastener features a precise M5 metric thread and a length of 8mm, a common size used for securing housing components, safety guards, and internal assemblies within Walter's extensive line of power tools. The defining feature of this screw is its integrated flange head. Unlike standard screws that may require a separate flat washer to distribute load, the flange on the 48S179 acts as a built-in washer. This design not only simplifies assembly and disassembly during maintenance but also provides a larger surface area to grip the mating part. This is particularly important in vibrating power tools, as the increased friction under the head helps prevent the screw from loosening over time due to operational vibration.

Maintenance professionals understand that substituting generic hardware in precision tools can lead to fitment issues or premature failure. Generic screws may not have the same tensile strength or corrosion resistance as the original Walter specification. By choosing the 48S179, you are investing in the durability of your equipment. Whether you are replacing a lost screw during a routine service or repairing a damaged unit, this part offers the reliability expected from the Walter brand. Keep your workshop stocked with essential spares to minimize downtime and ensure your tools are always ready for the toughest industrial applications.
