OVERVIEW

Precision Mounting for Industrial Grinding

The Walter 30B057 Back Flange is an essential component designed to ensure the safe and effective operation of angle grinders equipped with a 5/8"-11 spindle. In the realm of industrial metalworking, the stability of abrasive wheels is paramount not only for the quality of the finish but also for the safety of the operator. This back flange acts as the foundational support for grinding wheels, cutting discs, and flap discs, providing a flat and secure surface against which the abrasive sits.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this flange is engineered to strict tolerances. A worn or damaged back flange can lead to wheel wobble, increased vibration, and uneven wear on consumables. By replacing worn components with the 30B057, facilities can maintain the precision of their equipment. The flange is constructed from high-durability materials capable of withstanding the torque and heat generated during heavy-duty grinding applications.

Proper mounting is critical for preventing accidents in the workplace. The 5/8"-11 thread size is a standard in the North American market, making this flange a versatile replacement part for a wide range of grinders compatible with Walter accessories. Whether used in fabrication shops, shipyards, or maintenance departments, ensuring your grinders are equipped with non-deformed, high-quality flanges is a simple yet vital maintenance step.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Vibration Reduction: Provides a true surface for the wheel, minimizing runout.
  • Safety Compliance: Helps maintain the structural integrity of the wheel mounting system.
  • Longevity: Resists deformation under high clamping loads.

FAQ

The back flange sits on the spindle behind the abrasive wheel. It provides a flat, secure surface for the wheel to rest against, ensuring it spins true and remains centered.

This is the back (inner) flange that goes on the spindle before the wheel. It is not the outer nut that tightens the wheel down.

This flange is designed for angle grinders with a standard 5/8"-11 threaded spindle.

While it is designed for 5/8"-11 spindles, it is best to check your grinder's manual. It is specifically manufactured to Walter's specifications for their tools and compatible systems.

You should replace the flange if it shows signs of wear, such as grooves, nicks, warping, or if the seating surface is no longer flat. A damaged flange can cause dangerous wheel vibration.

A high-quality, undamaged back flange helps prevent the wheel from jamming against the spindle, which can make removal easier compared to using worn-out parts.

It is made of durable, industrial-grade metal designed to withstand the high torque and heat associated with grinding applications.
