50Y38 - ESAB 50Y38 Machine Torch Gear Rack

Genuine ESAB 50Y38 Replacement Rack

The ESAB 50Y38 Rack is a specialized replacement component designed for use with specific Oxweld and ESAB machine cutting torches. In automated or mechanized oxy-fuel cutting operations, the precise positioning of the torch relative to the workpiece is critical for maintaining cut quality and safety. This rack serves as the gear track component of the rack-and-pinion mechanism, allowing the torch lifter or motor to smoothly raise and lower the torch barrel.

Manufactured to original equipment specifications, this rack ensures proper mesh with the pinion gear, eliminating slippage or binding that can occur with worn or damaged parts. It is constructed from durable materials to withstand the harsh environment of industrial cutting, including exposure to heat, spatter, and mechanical wear. Replacing a damaged rack is essential for restoring the fine adjustment capabilities of your cutting setup.

This part is identified by the SKU 50Y38 and is compatible with select legacy and current Oxweld machine torch assemblies. It is an integral part of the mechanical drive system on the torch body, facilitating accurate standoff height control during the cutting process.
