0705-0006 - Victor Regulator Diaphragm Slip Ring 0705-0006

Genuine Victor Replacement Component

The Victor 0705-0006 Diaphragm Slip Ring is a specialized internal component designed for the maintenance and repair of Victor heavy-duty gas regulators. As a critical part of the regulator's pressure adjustment assembly, this slip ring sits between the adjusting spring (or spring button) and the diaphragm plate. Its primary engineering function is to decouple the rotational force of the adjusting screw from the linear motion required to compress the diaphragm spring.

In high-pressure gas regulation, precision and safety are paramount. When an operator turns the adjusting knob to increase delivery pressure, the main spring compresses. Without a functioning slip ring, the friction from the rotating spring could transfer torque to the diaphragm, causing it to twist, wrinkle, or tear. The 0705-0006 acts as a bearing surface, allowing the spring to rotate freely without grabbing the diaphragm assembly. This ensures that the diaphragm only experiences the intended vertical force, maintaining the structural integrity of the elastomer or metal diaphragm material.

This part is manufactured by Victor Technologies to exact OEM specifications, ensuring perfect dimensional compatibility with SR series regulators (such as the SR 450 and SR 460). Using genuine Victor parts for regulator repair is essential for maintaining the equipment's UL listing and operational safety. Inferior aftermarket substitutes may lack the correct surface finish or hardness, leading to gritty adjustment feel or premature wear. For industrial MRO applications, stocking genuine repair parts like the 0705-0006 ensures that critical welding and cutting equipment can be serviced and returned to operation with minimal downtime.

Regular maintenance of gas regulators, including the inspection and replacement of wear items like slip rings, extends the service life of the equipment and ensures consistent gas delivery pressures. This slip ring is a small but vital component in the overall functionality of professional oxy-fuel systems.
