48L075 - Walter Line-Mate Arbor Spacer 48-L-075

Precision Spacer for Linear Finishing Systems

The Walter 48-L-075 Spacer is a critical hardware component engineered specifically for the Line-Mate family of linear finishing tools. In high-precision metal finishing, the stability of the abrasive medium is paramount. This spacer is designed to fit the arbor of the Line-Mate tool, providing the necessary offset or clamping thickness required to securely mount various abrasive drums, pneumatic wheels, and flap wheels. Without the correct spacing, consumables may not seat properly against the spindle shoulder, leading to operational instability.

Manufactured from high-grade steel, this spacer withstands the rotational forces, torque, and vibration inherent in industrial grinding and polishing applications. It acts as a bridge between the abrasive accessory and the locking nut or flange, ensuring that the clamping force is distributed evenly. This is particularly important when switching between abrasive drums of varying widths or when utilizing the pneumatic drum attachment, which requires precise axial positioning to function correctly.

Using genuine OEM parts like the 48-L-075 ensures perfect compatibility with Walter Line-Mate III specifications. Improper mounting hardware can result in wheel wobble, which not only degrades the quality of the surface finish—potentially causing chatter marks—but also poses a safety risk to the operator. This spacer maintains the integrity of the tool's assembly, allowing for smooth, consistent linear finishing on stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals.
