0558003617 - ESAB PT-21AMX Mechanized Plasma Torch, 25ft Leads, No Rack

Technical Overview of the ESAB PT-21AMX

The ESAB PT-21AMX (Part Number 0558003617) is a high-performance mechanized plasma cutting torch designed for integration with automated cutting systems. This specific configuration features a 25-foot cable assembly, providing ample length for routing through cable tracks on medium to large CNC gantries or cutting tables. The torch is engineered to deliver consistent arc stability and superior cut quality across a variety of conductive metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

A defining characteristic of this model is the "No-Rack" design. Unlike standard machine torches that feature a toothed gear rack for pinion-driven height controllers, the PT-21AMX sports a smooth barrel. This design choice makes it ideal for systems that utilize clamp-style holders, collet mounts, or alternative height control mechanisms where a gear rack would be an obstruction or unnecessary. The smooth barrel allows for 360-degree rotation and flexible vertical positioning within the mount.

Internally, the torch utilizes advanced airflow dynamics to ensure effective cooling of the consumables and the torch head. This air-cooled design simplifies the system by removing the need for liquid cooling pumps and hoses, while still maintaining high duty cycles appropriate for industrial fabrication. The torch is compatible with standard ESAB PT-21 series consumables, ensuring that replacement parts are readily available and easy to change, minimizing downtime during operation.

The 25-foot leads are encased in a durable, protective sheath that resists abrasion, cuts, and heat, ensuring longevity in harsh shop environments. The connection point is designed for secure attachment to compatible ESAB power sources, such as the PowerCut series, facilitating a reliable electrical and pneumatic interface.
