The ESAB 0558001965 is the specific replacement torch body designed for the PT-32 plasma cutting torch, a staple in the ESAB manual plasma cutting lineup. This component serves as the central structural and conductive hub of the torch assembly, interfacing directly with the plasma power source leads and the consumable stack. It is engineered to meet the precise tolerances required for high-amperage plasma arc transfer, ensuring that the electrode, swirl baffle, and nozzle align perfectly for optimal gas dynamics and arc stability.
Manufactured from high-grade brass and heat-resistant industrial polymers, this OEM part is built to withstand the thermal cycling and mechanical stress inherent in manual plasma cutting. It is compatible with ESAB PowerCut series machines, specifically the PowerCut 875, PowerCut 1125, and PowerCut 1500 systems that utilize the PT-32 torch configuration. The body features standard threading for the retaining cup and precise seating for the electrode, which is critical for preventing internal arcing and coolant/gas leakage (where applicable).
Failure of the torch body is often characterized by stripped threads, internal arcing damage, or physical cracks from impact. Replacing the body with this genuine ESAB unit ensures that the safety interlocks and electrical connections function as intended by the manufacturer. It does not include the external handle shell or the cable assembly, which are sold separately, but it is the core component required to rebuild a damaged torch head. Technicians should verify the torch model number before ordering, as the PT-32 has specific geometry distinct from the PT-31 or PT-34 series.
