48S271 - Walter M4x12 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

Maintain the integrity and performance of your premium Walter Surface Technologies equipment with the Walter 48S271 Stainless Steel Screw M4x12. In the demanding world of industrial metalworking and surface finishing, every component plays a vital role. Using genuine OEM parts ensures that your machinery continues to operate at the high standards for which Walter is known. This specific fastener is designed to meet the exact specifications required for Walter assemblies, preventing the issues often associated with generic hardware such as thread mismatch or material incompatibility.

Superior Material Quality

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, this M4x12 screw is built to resist corrosion and oxidation. This is particularly important for equipment used in environments where exposure to cleaning fluids, electrolytes (such as those used in Surfox systems), or ambient moisture is common. The stainless steel composition ensures that the screw will not seize or rust in place, making future maintenance tasks easier and preserving the structural integrity of the tool or machine it secures.

Precision Engineering

The 48S271 features a standard metric M4 thread with a 12mm length, a common size in precision industrial tools. The head type is TCEI, which stands for Testa Cilindrica Esagono Incassato, known in English as a Socket Head Cap Screw (SHCS). This design allows for high torque application using a hex key (Allen wrench), ensuring a tight and secure fit without the risk of cam-out associated with Phillips or slotted screws. The cylindrical head offers a low profile while providing substantial clamping force.

Application and Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to the longevity of any industrial tool. Screws can become stripped, lost, or damaged during routine service or heavy operation. Keeping a supply of genuine Walter 48S271 screws on hand ensures that downtime is minimized. Whether you are repairing a housing, securing a component, or performing a complete overhaul, this OEM part guarantees the fit and finish your equipment deserves.
