220670 - Hypertherm Powermax 45 Replacement Swirl Ring for T45 Torches

Precision Gas Control for Powermax Systems

The Hypertherm 220670 Swirl Ring is a critical component designed to maintain the high-performance standards of your Hypertherm Powermax 45 and legacy Powermax 30 plasma cutting systems. Acting as the aerodynamic heart of the torch head, this swirl ring is responsible for controlling the flow of plasma gas around the electrode and through the nozzle. By creating a precise vortex of gas, it constricts the plasma arc, focusing the energy density to deliver the clean, square cuts that Hypertherm systems are renowned for.

Manufactured in the United States to exacting OEM specifications, this swirl ring is compatible with T45v hand torches and T45m machine torches, as well as the T30v torch found on older Powermax 30 units. It operates effectively across an amperage range of 15 A to 45 A, making it versatile enough for fine detail work on thin gauge metals or full-power cutting on thicker plates. The component is engineered from high-grade, heat-resistant composite materials that withstand the intense thermal environment inside the torch head without deforming, ensuring consistent gas dynamics over its service life.

Proper maintenance of the swirl ring is essential for the longevity of your other consumables. A damaged or clogged swirl ring can cause the arc to wander, leading to off-center burns on the nozzle bore and rapid electrode deterioration. By replacing your swirl ring at the first sign of wear or cracking, you protect your investment in nozzles and electrodes, ensuring that your system operates at peak efficiency. Whether you are performing drag cutting, mechanized cutting, or gouging, the 220670 ensures the gas velocity and rotation required for optimal plasma stability.

Trust in genuine Hypertherm parts to deliver the reliability your industrial applications demand. This swirl ring is not just a spacer; it is a precision-engineered gas distributor that directly influences cut speed, angularity, and dross levels. Keep your Powermax system running like new with the correct OEM parts.
