48S255 - Walter Replacement Tapping Screw St2.9 x 12mm - 48S255

Genuine Walter OEM Replacement Fastener

The Walter Tapping Screw St2.9X12 (SKU: 48S255) is a critical component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies equipment. In the realm of industrial machinery and power tools, the integrity of every fastener plays a pivotal role in the overall performance and safety of the unit. This screw is engineered with a precise St2.9 thread profile, ensuring it cuts and mates perfectly with the receiving material—whether it be high-grade plastic housings or metal chassis components—without causing stress fractures or stripping the pilot hole.

Using non-OEM fasteners in precision equipment can lead to a host of mechanical issues. Generic screws often lack the specific tensile strength, thread pitch accuracy, or corrosion resistance required by the manufacturer's engineering standards. The 48S255 is manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring that the 12mm length provides optimal engagement depth. This is particularly important in compact industrial tools where internal clearance is minimal; a screw that is even slightly too long can impinge on internal wiring or moving parts, while one that is too short may fail under vibration.

Maintenance professionals understand that the longevity of equipment is directly tied to the quality of the parts used during service intervals. This tapping screw is designed to withstand the operational vibrations and thermal cycles common to Walter's high-performance surface finishing tools. By choosing the genuine 48S255 screw, you are preserving the structural rigidity of the tool's assembly, ensuring that casings remain sealed against dust and debris, and maintaining the ergonomic balance intended by the designers.

Whether you are performing a routine brush change, replacing a switch, or conducting a complete overhaul of a Walter unit, having the correct hardware is essential. This St2.9X12 tapping screw represents Walter's commitment to quality down to the smallest detail, providing technicians with the assurance that the repair will hold up under the rigors of daily industrial use.
