0251-0025 - Victor Machine Torch Rack Handle with Bushing Assembly

Precision Control for Automated Cutting

The Victor 0251-0025 Rack Handle with Bushing is a critical component designed for the rigorous demands of industrial oxy-fuel cutting. In automated cutting applications, the stability and adjustability of the machine torch are paramount to achieving high-quality cuts. This rack handle assembly serves as the primary interface between the torch body and the machine carriage, utilizing a precision-machined gear rack to facilitate vertical movement. This allows operators to fine-tune the torch height relative to the workpiece, maintaining the optimal standoff distance required for efficient preheating and cutting.

Manufactured to Victor's exacting OEM standards, this component ensures seamless compatibility with specific Victor machine torch models. The inclusion of the bushing is essential for eliminating play and vibration within the mounting block. Over time, the teeth on a rack handle can become worn from constant adjustment and exposure to the harsh environment of a cutting table, leading to slippage or jerky movement. Replacing a compromised handle with the 0251-0025 restores the smooth, linear motion necessary for consistent beveling and straight-line cutting.

Engineered from durable materials capable of withstanding high radiant heat and industrial wear, this rack handle is built for longevity. It provides the structural integrity needed to support the torch head and hoses without flexing. For maintenance teams and fabrication managers, utilizing genuine Victor parts like the 0251-0025 guarantees that the equipment operates within its specified tolerances, reducing downtime associated with equipment jamming or misalignment.

Whether you are refurbishing an older cutting machine or performing routine maintenance on your torch inventory, this rack handle assembly offers the reliability expected from the Victor brand. It is an integral part of the system that controls the flame's position, directly influencing the quality of the cut face and the amount of slag produced. Ensure your automated systems are running at peak performance with this authentic replacement part.
