48S218 - Walter St 4.8 x 45mm Replacement Tapping Screw

Genuine OEM Fastening Solution

The Walter 48S218 Tapping Screw is a specialized replacement component designed to meet the rigorous standards of industrial maintenance. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, this fastener is engineered with precise dimensions—specifically a 4.8 mm diameter and 45 mm length—to ensure seamless compatibility with designated Walter power tools and equipment. In the realm of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), using Genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts is critical for maintaining the validity of equipment warranties and ensuring optimal performance.

Constructed from high-grade steel (St), this tapping screw offers superior tensile strength and durability compared to generic alternatives. The self-tapping design allows the screw to cut its own mating threads into the substrate, creating a zero-clearance fit that is highly resistant to loosening caused by the high-frequency vibrations typical of industrial grinding and finishing tools. This secure fastening is essential for maintaining the alignment of tool housings, guards, and internal components, thereby protecting the user and the machine from potential failure.

Professionals rely on the 48S218 for its consistency and reliability. Whether performing routine maintenance or an emergency repair on the shop floor, this screw provides the confidence that the reassembled tool will perform to factory specifications. Its corrosion-resistant finish further extends its service life, making it a dependable choice for harsh industrial environments where exposure to moisture and debris is common.
