48L093 - Line-Mate III Spindle Spacer Ring

Genuine Walter Spacer for Line-Mate III Systems

The Walter 48L093 Spacer is a critical component designed specifically for the Line-Mate III linear finishing tool family. In the world of industrial metal finishing, precision and safety are paramount, and even the smallest components play a vital role in the overall performance of your equipment. This spacer is engineered to fit perfectly onto the spindle of the Line-Mate III, providing the necessary offset and security required when mounting various abrasive drums, flap wheels, and buffing wheels.

One of the primary functions of this spacer is to accommodate abrasive accessories of varying widths. The Line-Mate III is a versatile tool used for graining, cleaning, and polishing metals, often requiring different wheel types depending on the job. When a user switches from a standard width drum to a narrower wheel, the 48L093 Spacer fills the gap on the arbor, ensuring that the locking nut can be tightened securely. Without this spacer, narrower wheels would slide loosely on the shaft, leading to dangerous vibrations, poor finish quality, and potential damage to the tool or workpiece.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, this part meets the high standards of durability expected from a leader in surface treatment solutions. It is machined from robust metal to withstand the torque and rotational forces generated during operation. Using genuine OEM parts like the 48L093 ensures that the balance of the tool is maintained. An unbalanced tool not only causes operator fatigue due to excessive vibration but can also lead to premature wear of the tool's bearings and motor. By utilizing the correct spacer, operators ensure a smooth, consistent finish on stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals.

Whether you are replacing a lost spacer or stocking up on spare parts for your maintenance crib, the Walter 48L093 is an essential item for any shop utilizing the Line-Mate system. It represents a small investment that protects the integrity of your expensive power tools and ensures the safety of your workforce.
