Technical Overview of the ESAB PT-31XL Torch

The ESAB PT-31XL Plasma Torch (SKU: 0558001830) is the specified OEM replacement torch for the ESAB PCM-600 and HandyPlasma 50 plasma cutting systems. Engineered to meet the precise electrical and pneumatic requirements of these power sources, the PT-31XL ensures optimal arc stability and cutting quality. This assembly features a 15-foot (4.5-meter) lead, providing sufficient working radius for standard fabrication layouts without compromising voltage drop or gas flow characteristics.

Technically, the torch is rated for a maximum output of 50 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, utilizing air cooling to manage thermal loads. The torch head is angled at 75 degrees, the industry standard for manual cutting applications, allowing for natural hand positioning and visibility of the arc. The connection interface is designed to mate directly with the PCM-600 output terminals, ensuring a secure electrical connection and leak-free gas interface. It utilizes the PT-31 / XT line of consumables, which are designed for efficient heat dissipation and prolonged service life.

Operators and maintenance personnel should verify the machine model before ordering, as connector configurations can vary between ESAB legacy series. This SKU 0558001830 is specifically configured for the PCM-600 generation. The assembly includes the torch body, handle, cable assembly, and connector, ready for immediate installation and calibration.
