0558002864 - ESAB PT-26 Plasma Torch Spare Parts Kit 150A

Technical Overview of the ESAB PT-26 Spare Parts Kit

The ESAB 0558002864 is a comprehensive spare parts kit designed specifically for the PT-26 plasma cutting torch. The PT-26 is a heavy-duty torch typically utilized in high-amperage industrial applications, often paired with power sources such as the PCM-150. This kit is curated to support operations running at 150 Amps, providing the necessary consumables to maintain arc stability and cut quality over extended periods of use.

The components within this kit are manufactured to ESAB's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This ensures strict tolerance adherence for gas flow dynamics and electrical conductivity. The kit typically includes the primary wear items: electrodes, which serve as the emitter for the plasma arc; nozzles, which constrict the arc for energy density; and swirl baffles, which control the gas vortex essential for cooling and arc centering. By using genuine ESAB parts, operators ensure that the cooling geometry of the torch head is maintained, preventing overheating and potential damage to the torch body.

For procurement and maintenance managers, stocking this kit (SKU 0558002864) simplifies inventory management by grouping compatible parts under a single reference number. It eliminates the guesswork associated with matching individual consumable part numbers to the specific amperage setup of the PT-26 torch. The materials used in these consumables are high-grade copper and hafnium (for electrodes), designed to withstand the intense thermal load of 150A cutting currents.

Compatibility Note: This kit is strictly for the PT-26 model. It is not interchangeable with PT-31, PT-21, or other ESAB torch series due to differences in thread pitch and internal torch geometry.
