430-420260 - Hypertherm XPR 170A Swirl Ring 420260

Precision Gas Control for XPR Systems

The Hypertherm 420260 Swirl Ring is a critical component designed for the high-performance XPR170 and XPR300 plasma cutting systems. Engineered specifically for 170 Amp cutting processes, this swirl ring plays a vital role in the plasma generation process by controlling the flow of gas around the electrode and through the nozzle.

In a high-definition plasma system like the XPR, the swirl ring does more than just channel gas; it creates a precise vortex. This swirling action centers the arc on the electrode emitter, ensuring consistent arc starting and stability. By constricting the arc, it increases energy density, resulting in sharper cut edges, reduced angularity, and faster cutting speeds. Furthermore, the 420260 aids in the cooling of the nozzle, helping to extend the life of your other consumables.

As a genuine Hypertherm OEM part, this swirl ring is manufactured to exact tolerances. Using non-OEM replacements in sophisticated systems like the XPR can lead to gas leaks, poor cut quality, or even damage to the torch head. Ensure your industrial cutting table operates at peak efficiency with the correct swirl ring for your 170A processes.

Key Technical Benefits

• Arc Centering: Ensures the plasma arc initiates and maintains a center position relative to the nozzle bore.


• Thermal Management: Facilitates proper gas flow to assist in cooling the torch front-end parts.


• Material Compatibility: Optimized for use with standard conductive metals processed at 170 Amps.
