BK12849-15 - Lincoln Electric FlexCut LC100M Shield Cap (60-80A) - 2 Pack

Optimized Performance for Industrial Plasma Cutting

The Lincoln Electric FlexCut® LC100M Shield Cap (BK12849-15) is a critical component designed to maintain the high-performance standards of your FlexCut® 80 plasma cutting system. Engineered specifically for the LC100M plasma torch, this shield cap is rated for operation within the 60A to 80A amperage range. In industrial environments where precision and uptime are paramount, using genuine OEM consumables is the only way to ensure your equipment operates as intended by the manufacturer.

The primary function of the shield cap is to protect the inner nozzle and electrode from the harsh environment of the plasma arc. During the cutting process, molten metal spatter and intense heat can rapidly degrade unprotected components. The BK12849-15 provides a robust physical barrier that deflects slag and minimizes heat transfer to the nozzle orifice. Additionally, the shield cap plays a vital role in gas dynamics; it helps channel the secondary shielding gas around the plasma arc, constricting it for greater energy density. This results in cleaner, narrower kerfs and reduced dross accumulation on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum workpieces.

Josef Gas understands the needs of professional fabricators. That is why we supply this product in a pack of two, ensuring you have immediate replacements available on the shop floor. Consistent inspection and replacement of the shield cap are necessary to prevent arc instability and potential damage to the torch head. By maintaining the integrity of your torch's front-end consumables, you ensure consistent cut quality and prolong the service life of your FlexCut® 80 system.

Whether you are engaged in heavy construction, automotive fabrication, or general industrial repair, the Lincoln Electric LC100M Shield Cap delivers the reliability required for demanding applications. Trust in genuine Lincoln Electric parts to keep your production lines moving efficiently.
