03G-4 D010052 Gearbox Cover for MX48 Power Feeder 119x89x31mm Hole 66mm ABS Plastic Black 34.5g

Need the gearbox cover for an MX48 power feeder rather than a lookalike? The 03G-4 cover, material number D010052, is the moulded part that closes the gearbox on that feeder: 119 mm long, 89 mm wide, 31 mm high, with a 66 mm central hole, moulded in black ABS and weighing 34.5 g. It keeps wood dust, chips and external contamination off the gears and transmission. Price is quoted on request against the part number.

Three things go wrong once a power feeder loses its gearbox cover: wood dust and chips pack into the transmission housing, the exposed gear edges take knocks from offcuts and clamps, and a replacement ordered on size alone turns up with a centre hole that will not clear the mechanism. The 03G-4 D010052 gearbox cover closes all three.

It is the moulded cover over the gearbox and transmission of the MX48 power feeder, enclosing the internal gears against dust, chips and external contamination. The outside envelope is 119 mm long, 89 mm wide and 31 mm high, and the central hole measures 66 mm across - the figures that decide whether a cover drops onto the housing or fouls what is underneath it.

The cover is moulded in ABS plastic in black, not pressed from sheet steel. ABS takes impact without denting, holds its dimensions when the gearbox warms through a long shift, and weighs 34.5 g, so the feeder head carries no measurable extra load.

Fitment is model-specific: this is the MX48 cover, listed by its number - 03G-4, material number D010052 - so a repeat order does not depend on describing a shape over the phone. Price is quoted on request: a cover is only worth buying when the 119 x 89 x 31 mm envelope and the 66 mm hole match the machine on your floor.

What makes this a fitment part, not a generic pressing:

• Moulded to the MX48 housing - the 119 x 89 x 31 mm envelope and the 66 mm central hole follow the feeder gearbox, so the cover seats on the housing rather than being reworked to fit.
• Closes the gearbox to chips - the cover encloses the gear and transmission area, keeping wood dust, offcuts and contamination out of the housing.
• ABS, not sheet steel - a black ABS moulding at 34.5 g will not dent, rust or crease the way a thin metal pressing does after one knock.
• Holds its shape in heat - the 66 mm bore and 119 mm length stay put when the gearbox warms across a shift, so clearance under the cover is kept.
• One-piece removal and refit - the cover comes off and goes back on as a single moulded part, with no gearbox strip-down to replace it.
• Black through the material - the colour is in the moulding, not a paint film, so a scuff leaves no bright metal mark on the feeder head.
• 34.5 g on the head - the cover adds no meaningful load to the feeder head, so the feed pressure you set last week still applies.
• A number to reorder by - 03G-4 with material number D010052 identifies the part, so the second order matches the first.

Running a feeder with its gearbox open, or fitting a cover whose bore misses the mechanism, leaves two bad options: feed on and let chips into the gears, or park the machine. This cover removes both.

• Keep feeding while the cover is replaced. A worn cover costs minutes, not a shift - the part swaps on its own, so the gearbox stays closed and the feeder stays in service.
• Fit is settled before you order. Two figures decide it: a 119 x 89 x 31 mm envelope and a 66 mm central hole, so you can measure the old cover and know the new one lands.
• Guards the part that stops the feeder. A 34.5 g moulding stands between wood dust and the gears; the gearbox behind it takes the machine off the line when it fails.
• No weight, no re-setting. At 34.5 g the cover does not change the load on the feeder head, so the feed pressure set on the last job is still the right setting.
• Reorder by number, not by photo. 03G-4 / D010052 identifies the cover, so an order placed by another shift or another buyer still lands on the same part.
• Kit a service in one enquiry. Cover, feed rollers, gear wheels and cam switches are all MX48 feeder spares, so a service list can be quoted together instead of arriving in five shipments.

Yes, if your feeder is the MX48. The cover is moulded for that model - 119 mm long, 89 mm wide, 31 mm high, 66 mm central hole - so it replaces the original cover on the gearbox rather than being adapted to it.

119 mm length, 89 mm width, 31 mm height, 66 mm hole diameter. Measure your old cover across the outside and across the hole; if those four figures match, this is the part.

Only the cover. This is the moulded outer part that encloses the gearbox and transmission - gears and transmission components inside are separate parts and are not included.

Moulded ABS plastic in black. ABS flexes under impact instead of creasing, and the part weighs 34.5 g, so there is no heavy metal shell to distort on the housing.

No. The cover is a single moulded piece that comes off and goes back on as one part; removing the old cover and seating the new one is the whole job.

No. At 34.5 g the cover is light enough that it does not change the load on the feeder head, so feed pressure and balance stay as they were set.

It gives clearance for the mechanism under the cover. Because it is 66 mm across and centred in a 119 x 89 mm face, the cover sits flat instead of resting on the parts it is meant to protect.

It is quoted on request rather than listed at a fixed price. Send the part number 03G-4 D010052 with the quantity you need and the quote comes back against that number.
