48R194 - Walter Line-Mate III Split Sleeve Expansion Drum

Optimize Your Linear Finishing with the Walter Split Sleeve

The Walter 48R194 Split Sleeve is a critical accessory designed exclusively for the Line-Mate III linear finishing system. In the world of industrial surface finishing, the quality of your output is directly related to the stability and precision of your tools. This split sleeve acts as the foundational interface between the power tool's spindle and the abrasive media, ensuring that belts, drums, and conditioning wheels are held securely in place during operation.

Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this component is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty metalworking. Whether you are graining stainless steel, removing rust, or polishing aluminum, the split sleeve ensures that the abrasive media rotates concentrically. This reduces vibration and chatter, which are the primary causes of uneven finishes and operator fatigue. By maintaining a firm grip on the abrasive, it allows for consistent pressure application across the workpiece.

Maintenance and versatility are key in high-throughput environments. The design of the 48R194 allows for rapid changeovers of abrasive belts. This means less downtime when switching between grit sizes or abrasive types, keeping your production line moving efficiently. It is an indispensable part for any workshop utilizing the Line-Mate III for architectural finishing, food processing equipment manufacturing, or general metal fabrication.
