220892 - Hypertherm 220892 Nozzle 130A for HyPro2000 / MaxPro200

Technical Overview of the Hypertherm 220892 Nozzle

The Hypertherm 220892 Nozzle is a precision-engineered consumable designed specifically for high-amperage plasma cutting applications. It is rated for 130 Amps and is the designated nozzle for HyPro2000 and MaxPro200 plasma systems, as well as legacy MAX200 machine torches that have been retrofitted or are operating within these parameters. This component plays a critical role in the plasma torch assembly by constricting the plasma arc to increase energy density and velocity, which is essential for achieving clean, dross-free cuts on conductive metals.

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, the 220892 nozzle is designed to withstand the intense thermal loads generated during 130A cutting processes. It is optimized for use with both Air and Oxygen as plasma gases, providing versatility depending on the material being cut—typically mild steel. The internal geometry of the nozzle orifice is machined to tight tolerances to ensure concentricity with the electrode, which is vital for maintaining a straight cut edge and preventing premature wear of the torch components.

In the context of the consumable stack, the nozzle sits between the electrode and the shield/deflector. Proper seating is crucial for maintaining the correct gas flow dynamics, including the swirl pattern generated by the swirl ring. The 220892 is designed to facilitate efficient heat transfer away from the orifice edge, delaying the onset of keyholing or orifice deformation. Regular inspection of the nozzle orifice is recommended; any signs of out-of-round wear or nicks can lead to arc instability and poor cut quality. This OEM part ensures full compatibility with the Hypertherm torch head, maintaining the safety and performance standards set by the manufacturer.

For industrial environments utilizing automated cutting tables, the consistency provided by genuine Hypertherm consumables like the 220892 translates to predictable maintenance schedules and reduced troubleshooting time. It is engineered to handle the duty cycles associated with heavy fabrication and manufacturing, ensuring that the MAX200 and HyPro2000 systems operate at peak efficiency.
