0559210155 - ESAB PT-36 400A H35 Shield Cap

Heavy-Duty Plasma Protection for Industrial Fabrication

The ESAB 0559210155 Shield Cap is a premium-grade consumable designed for the rigorous demands of high-amperage mechanized plasma cutting. Engineered specifically for the PT-36 plasma torch, this component plays a vital role in the ESAB m3 plasma system, ensuring that your automated cutting tables operate at peak efficiency. In industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, utilizing genuine OEM parts like this shield cap is critical for maintaining consistent production schedules and equipment longevity.

This specific shield cap is rated for 400 Amps and is optimized for use with H35 gas. H35 is typically a mixture of 35% Hydrogen and 65% Argon, a combination frequently employed for cutting thick sections of stainless steel and aluminum. The inclusion of hydrogen increases the arc voltage and heat enthalpy, allowing for deep, powerful cuts. However, this high-energy process generates significant heat and spatter. The 0559210155 Shield Cap is constructed to withstand these extreme conditions, providing a robust barrier that protects the delicate nozzle and electrode assembly housed within the torch head.

For procurement managers and shop supervisors, investing in the correct shield cap means fewer changeovers and reduced consumable waste. A well-maintained shield cap directs the secondary gas flow effectively, cooling the torch front end and preventing the buildup of slag that can distort the arc. By choosing the ESAB 0559210155, you are ensuring compatibility with your existing PT-36 setup and guaranteeing that your heavy plate cutting operations meet the quality standards required by your customers. This part is an essential stock item for any facility processing heavy non-ferrous plates.

Key Benefits for Operations:

• System Compatibility: Guaranteed fit for ESAB PT-36 torches, eliminating installation errors.


• High Performance: Supports 400A continuous cutting without premature failure.


• Inventory Value: Reduces the frequency of torch repairs by protecting critical internal components.
