73Z87 - ESAB PT-23 / PT-27 Plasma Shield Cup

Genuine ESAB 73Z87 Shield Cup for PT-23 & PT-27 Torches

Maintain the peak performance of your plasma cutting equipment with the ESAB 73Z87 Shield Cup. Designed as a direct OEM replacement, this shield cup is engineered specifically for the PT-23 and PT-27 plasma torches, which are commonly found on ESAB's robust PCM series machines (including the PCM-750i, PCM-875, PCM-1000i, and PCM-1125). As a critical component of the torch head assembly, the shield cup serves multiple vital functions that directly impact your cutting results and the lifespan of your consumables.

The primary role of the 73Z87 shield is to protect the inner nozzle and electrode from molten metal spatter and intense heat during the cutting process. By providing a durable physical barrier, it prevents short circuits and damage to the more delicate internal components. Additionally, the shield cup is aerodynamically designed to channel the secondary gas flow around the plasma arc. This constriction and direction of gas are essential for cooling the nozzle and stabilizing the arc, resulting in cleaner, straighter cuts with less dross.

Constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant composite materials, the ESAB 73Z87 is built to withstand the extreme temperatures inherent in plasma gouging and cutting. Unlike inferior aftermarket copies that may crack or deform under thermal stress, this genuine ESAB part maintains its structural integrity, ensuring a secure thread fit and consistent performance over time. Whether you are fabricating in a heavy industrial setting or performing maintenance repairs, using authentic ESAB consumables is the best way to ensure your equipment operates safely and efficiently.
