220179 - Generic Swirl Ring for Hypertherm HPR130/HPR260 (80-130A) - Replaces 220179

Precision Plasma Gas Control for HPR Systems

Optimize the performance of your high-definition plasma cutting operations with this premium aftermarket Swirl Ring, specifically engineered for compatibility with Hypertherm® HPR130™ and HPR260™ plasma systems. Designed to replace the OEM part number 220179, this component is a critical element in the plasma torch assembly, responsible for regulating the swirling action of the gas flow around the electrode. This controlled vortex is essential for centering the arc, constricting the plasma stream, and ensuring the high-density energy focus required for precision cutting tasks.

The 220179-compatible swirl ring is rated for operation at 80 Amps and 130 Amps, making it a versatile component for shops running variable thickness materials. By maintaining the correct gas velocity and rotation, it helps protect the nozzle from double-arcing and extends the life of the electrode by ensuring uniform heat distribution. In industrial environments where uptime and cut quality are paramount, using a swirl ring that meets strict dimensional tolerances is vital to maintaining the angularity and smoothness of the cut edge.

Manufactured from high-temperature resistant composite materials, this generic replacement part offers excellent durability and resistance to thermal degradation. It fits seamlessly into the torch head of HPR130 and HPR260 manual and mechanized torches. Whether you are processing mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, consistent gas dynamics provided by a fresh swirl ring will contribute to dross-free cuts and reduced secondary operations. This product provides an economical solution for high-volume fabrication shops looking to reduce consumable costs without compromising on the operational stability of their CNC plasma tables.

Regular inspection and replacement of the swirl ring are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. A clogged or damaged swirl ring can lead to poor arc initiation, unstable cutting arcs, and premature failure of other consumables. Ensure your HPR system continues to deliver high-performance results with this reliable, cost-effective alternative.
